Hi Chip/Joe, If you look at the sys-offering-sysvm.xml file, you can see that SSVM and CPVM are expanded in the first occurrence in the document (step c):
For the new offering that you want to use by default, set the value of unique_name as follows: For the default Console Proxy VM (CPVM) offering,set unique_name to 'Cloud.com-ConsoleProxy'. For the default Secondary Storage VM (SSVM) offering, set unique_name to 'Cloud.com-SecondaryStorage'.

Since the docs shouldn't assume much knowledge about the software, I'd suggest that they aren't used. I guess release notes are OK, because they tend to only be reviewed by someone that does know about the system (but I'd still avoid them there).
