+1. The major features list should be accessible, but otherwise I
think that we should add more detail.

80% - 90% of the items listed in the release notes aren't interesting
to users, but *which* 80% - 90% it is varies. The release notes don't
have to function as a press release, because we'll have an actual
press release instead.
