I think this is a very reasonable point of view. A prominent link to the Release Notes is necessary on the wiki page but, as a service to users, pointing out what may be considered of interest (with linis) is not likely to be harmful. Repetition can serve a useful purpose, especially if it is accompanied by some explanatory text. -- Brian.
