Well, I'm willing to (and I think usually have) put release-note-grade
descriptions into commit log messages, but I'm not willing to add "edit
release.sgml" to the already long process, for two basic reasons:
* it'd make release.sgml into a commit bottleneck --- if everyone is
doing it this way, everyone's local copy of the file would be constantly
out of date, and merge conflicts would be an everyday problem.
* correct SGML markup is a PITA.
If *someone else* wants to troll the commit logs every so often and make
entries into release.sgml, that's fine with me. But I don't have the
bandwidth.
