Yeah, I don’t think it was always like that.  Stripping it down to just the 
ones that actually have release notes make them much more usable, based upon my 
experiments.  Also, highlighting the ones marked  as incompatible (in both of 
them) but lacking notes has been extremely helpful in not getting surprised.

Also, one of the big problems was that YARN didn’t have a release notes field, 
so it used to print the description. I got the INFRA team to fix that forever 
ago, but I don’t think anyone noticed.
