I agree it's useful. I just don't think the user manual is the appropriate
place for it and think the release notes are better, since they are tied to the
characteristics of a specific release, and are far less likely to be stale.
This information is most useful to people building, integrating, and
packaging Accumulo, and the information in the user manual should still apply
to their builds (without modification) as it does to the ones we've tested. If
this is contained in the user manual, then they'll have to modify the user
manual if they want it to be accurate for their environment.
For example... for the Fedora packaging, any references in the user manual
to any version of our dependencies which aren't the versions packaged in
Fedora, simply wouldn't apply.
