Hi,

thanks for your work on documenting how to install jessie these days!

speaking of stuff which might be missed: 
https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/debian-installer/ has a prominent
note (marked with a red icon) saying/starting with: "If any of the
hardware in your system requires non-free firmware to be loaded with the
device driver..."

I think it would be great if "Debian 8 has been superseded by Debian 9
("stretch")..." could have such a red warning icon as well!

I assume this is going to appear at
.  That seems
a fairly prominent place, though the errata are quite a way down the
page so may be missed.

Since the release notes are mostly concerned with upgrades, and this
doesn't affect upgrades, I now think this may not be worth doing.

Thanks for reporting.

For the website, I have created the merge request with a proposal:

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/merge_requests/40

(I'm attaching the diff too).

Comments and/or improvements very welcome (CC'ing debian-boot). If there
is no activity, I plan to merge this in a week or so.

Respect to the release notes, I'm not sure if this documentation should
go there and in which section specifically (CC'ing debian-doc for help).

We have fixed our cron script for publishing the release notes against
git (thanks  Baptiste Jammet, and sorry for the delay!) and this means
that if a patch is accepted in the jessie branch of the release notes
(https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/ ), it will be
published in the website too (we will build jessie release notes for the
website at least until the LTS support finishes).
