No can do. A press release only "works" if it has impact, which means, among
other things, keeping the contents relatively under wraps until it's
officially launched. So if you want to give feedback, pitch in -- this is
your official opportunity.
Not everybody is involved in every patch that gets added to the code; not
everyone will be involved in every press release.
