True,the release notes are not for sponsors.
The fact that EY in this case has had their logo and endorsement
posted on every conference presentation the people they sponsored have
made is not enough?

We have? Can you give an example, so we have something to compare to?
I agree it's easy, but you need to figure out exactly who deserves to
be there. How man lines are 2ndquadrant going to get? Salesforce? EDB?
VMWare? There needs to be some sort of criteria.
Maybe something like "those things that are listed as major
enhancements" would work for that - as long as that doesn't send us
spiraling into a discussion about what gets to be listed under major
enhancements...
