Well, keep in mind we didn't do it very effectively in 7.4 :-) The
vast majority of changes weren't recorded there, and the ones that
were had to be fleshed out quite a lot in the actual release notes.

The last time that someone (Peter and myself, IIRC) suggested that we
really incrementally maintain the release notes during the development
cycle, Bruce said that he personally finds it more comfortable to
summarize the CVS changelogs all at once shortly before we release the
first beta. AFAIR that's where the discussion ended.
