?I have the impression that this press release is written initially from a developer's perspective rather than addressing users and prospective users. It opens with "FlightGear 2.0.0. reflects the maturation of the OpenSceneGraph port" which probably will not mean a lot to the majority of people who will come into contact with FlightGear, even though the subsequent detail contains many items that would be of more general interest.
I guess what I'm saying is that it would be worth thinking about who the press releases are being written for as well as who they are written by, and maybe the same sort of thinking would apply to determining what constitutes a major release? Just my thoughts....
