Jason: This is the first time I recall seeing release note pages in Confluence with a "DRAFT-" prefix. And I also see that Atri has follow-ed suit (following your lead, no doubt) for 8.6. Why? Looking at the page navigation, it's clearly an oddity -- a change. And it's still DRAFT despite it being released.
