Attached are two patches.

The first modifies the major improvements section to align with what we
have discovered during the beta period + the general advocacy push. It
also modifies the "last updated date" + narrows down a prospective
release month.

The second modifies/removes the questions/placeholders in the release
notes, such as Michael's comment above (which I agreed with and added a
one sentence explanation after).

Thanks,
