1. an incompatible checkbox
This really only passes the buck, doesn't it? The real problem is correctly identifying all the incompatible changes. We already have a mechanism, a section in CHANGES.txt, but we don't always manage to correctly list all the incompatible changes there. A checkbox won't be any more reliable will it?
2. a release note text box
Shouldn't folks just include CHANGES.txt message in the patch? That's what I've always encouraged, but few are ever provided. Perhaps Hudson can bounce patches that don't touch CHANGES.txt?
Both these would make sense if we intend to abandon CHANGES.txt and use them instead. Is that your intent?
