Okay I have just modified the file. Basically I renamed it so that it no longer has the ia64 in the filename and added the line wrap which Thomas suggested.
If nobody objects, I will also modify the release-notes.tex and simply wipe out the whole thing regard RHEL 3 and tell the user to read the README.RHAS3.txt file found in the source tarball. In that case we only need to update one file. What do you guys think? Alternatively, I can copy the contents of README.RHAS3.txt to the release notes and simply delete that file from SVN. Cheers, Bernard P.S.
