I think we just leave it out, focus on the new things and improvements no 
matter where they are.

Explicitly mentioning the feature development end of workspaces wasn't a good

It is an internal decision not really affecting anyone other than our 
developers, we need to learn to keep those bits out of the release 
annoucements.
