I took a crack at moving the useful details from the alpha release
notes into the regular ones, which I do believe are better overall
than the alpha ones. Feel free to adjust as needed. At this point, I
think we should nuke the alpha release notes; I don't see any value in
having two versions around.

In terms of future releases, I think we'd probably need to work a bit
harder on the alpha release notes if we want to avoid the full release
note generation process. That may be a good thing for us to consider
in the future, but at least for this release I'd say we weren't quite
there.
