How about a WARNING.TXT which points to important release info on the 
web site?

In this case it could point to 
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/changes.html - but it would be good to 
have a way to highlight important changes there, dunno if this 
requires changes to the status.xml processing.

 It seems that we need a place where we can put important changes

 This is currently the renaming of woody to cocoon forms and the
 incompatible excalibur-logger change that might cause problems
 with existing installations.

What about the RELEASE NOTE?

Why not updating.xml ? It could be reorganized onto several sections, 
i.e. 2.0 - 2.1, 2.1.4 - 2.1.5, etc

Once again the need arises to categorize changes ;-)

Let's finally introduce this importance attribute on action 
elements, that will allow to clearly distinguish changes. It can be used 
to organize the release notes page (important changes come first) and 
also to filter the announcement email (only important changes are 
relevant here).

I also propose that each block has its own status.xml file. The main 
status.xml will be used for changes to the core, and also change of 
block status (creation, deprecation, etc).

So let's finally vote on this.

- do you want to add an importance=high|low|medium attribute on 
action in changes.xml?

- do you want each block to have it's own status.xml file?
