The issue is that you changed 2008.11 to 200811, when I'd asked to use 
fields from the release verbatim.

If we're going to have the capability to produce and archive specific 
release notes per-build (which I think we should, it makes for less 
confusion for users) then we need $buildid.  You can change $release to 
anything you want between releases, if that would abate the concern 
about advertising the builds as something they aren't.
