Not sure I agree. If the release notes need further filtering, I  
think they should be sorted by bundle, perhaps with some kind of  
folding markers.

• As a user, in general, I'd rather have all changes to the bundles  
that _I personally use_ listed in the release notes -- in  
excruciating detail if possible. That is: I don't want an overview, I  
want the details. But I also don't need to read about the bundles I  
don't use.

• Define 'really helpful to a broad set of people.' :) It's possible  
to read that so narrowly that only HTML bundle features and  
modifications need apply.
