Yeah, #2 is an option but I'd rather not create so many sections. And they are 
not separate announcements like the sections we have now. So I'd rather have 
the current setup, noting that there are some bugfixes for Workspaces and 
Libraries (and not link to any further announcement) and have the full Apps 
announcement, as always.

I still don't think we should make the announcement shorter and put things in 
the Release Notes as that just hides them behind an extra link. Let's use the 
Release notes for additions/changes after the release day and for installation 
instructions/issues/etc.

Of course, if #3 would be realistic, we would have a lot and we could put the 
minor details in the release notes. It's just that you can't "demand" anything 
- what would you do if the developers refuse, not ship their application? We 
ask for input, that is all we can do. It changes the day we start paying 
people or change the way we work to include feature planning and executing in 
the process. I'd love to see both but doubt either is gonna happen anytime 
soon...
