I like it - shows multiple improvements to heavily used functionality, while glossing over the incomplete nature of mat views. It also focuses on "View Improvements" instead of one specific improvement/feature, which compactly sends a "multiple improvement" message. Specifically, the mat view stuff is nice, but the updatable views is going to be massive for a lot of people. That's a feature that would have save me a lot of time in the past.
On another note - are page checksums going to make the cut? While not exactly flashy, that is a really critical feature for mission critical systems - something we have sorely lacked.
