What about the /RELEASE-NOTES.md file? Is it generated? Then why is it in Git?

I should also add that the release manager will be the “final” editor of it as 
part of the release and may make changes, deletions or corrections.

I wouldn’t use the word “appended”. announcement.vm is free-form text that 
describes the release. It should be edited as needed. Most enhancements and 
fixes don’t need to be called out there.

Just documenting which file to update and that it gets appended...

Updating the release notes is already a step in the release process. Are
you talking about a different wiki page?

I edit src/site/announcment.vm as required before releases to call out
anything special. It would be good practice to edit during development
so
that I don’t forget things. The changes.xml content gets appended to
the
announcement text.

Yes, but in this case I want something more which cannot be placed in
changes.xml.

Do we have any place to prepare release notes for an upcoming
release,
before actually making the release?

Removing SerializedLayout as default warrants a mentioning in the
release notes for the 2.9 release, since it is a breaking change.
