Re: Feedback on 9.0 release text? Please?

Rob,

We use the term "update release" to refer to patches and security fixes,
so I don't think we want to use "update" here.

Hmmm. I suppose "building" isn't strictly necessary, and if
unnecessary, should be cut.

Yeah, I had trouble with the phrasing there and could use some help.
What I really wanted to say is that our project momentum, both for
developing features and for user adoption, is higher/faster than ever.
Thoughts?

Also, if anyone knows a big-name company who contributed a major feature
to 9.0 that I'm not thinking of, please mention them now.
