  This is a good point - and we should consider the intended audience for
whatever we release. The intended audience of RELEASE_NOTES consists of the
people who *install* the release. They don't need the roadmap for that
purpose.

  The people who want/need the roadmap are the ones who are interested in
developing the next release(s) - i.e. the ones on this dev mailing list -
and the roadmap is now incorporated in the files of this list.  It would
also be reasonable to have a separate document at the site
"Roadmap-for-future-releases" so that anyone interested in future releases
could easily find it to read and it wouldn't burden the release download.
