I talked more to Todd offline, for 0.8.0 we'll try our best to have release
notes to be in a releasable format so that it's easy to get them in before
cutting an RC.

For 0.7.1 I'm asking for a free pass OR we sink it right away, push the
release notes ASAP, and roll out a new RC with a 24h voting period.
