This discussion is an instance of something I have an opinion on. I think we should be more verbose in our release notes about what is new and different. I feel like the desire to only mention really visible changes is motivated by a focus on our educational users. We already have a separate plt-edu announcement, so I don't see the need to be tight lipped generally.
