Yes, a substantial percentage of those who have been carrying the relnotes load were also en route. A one-pager sounds like the right balance, but the problem also exists that we do not want to introduce any load on the L10N program until test3, so that translators are not dealing with large numbers of changed strings over the frenzy of development that happens between test1 and test3. Therefore we should probably mention *IN* the release notes one-pager why, exactly, it is not being translated, and when translations can be expected. As test1 is normally a time when we take a very rough snapshot of where we're going, with many things still to shake out from all perspectives, I think it's unreasonable to expect much relnotes content there. But having a note to that effect would be useful. That content, once written, could be usable for every test1 (or even test2) release. Bob Jensen has been holding the position of Editor in Chief for the Release Notes.
