+1

The full release notes aren't really required for Beta.

We can just say: Here are the main changes in 8.3, please focus your
testing in these areas first. A full set of release notes will be
available here <link> as Beta progresses.

That's actually desirable because we want Beta to test the whole system,
not just the individual parts of it. That way we're more likely to hit
performance regressions and multi-feature integration issues.
