Open Stack

Keep in mind the process for how projects manage release notes is changing
as well. Per an email from Doug [1], the projects are moving to in-tree
release notes, which will be tracked as the release progresses. It's a huge
win, and the result is pretty nice. You can see the in-flight patches to
make htis happen by following this link [2].

Thanks,
Kyle
