There are some changes which I push to the release notes but it is locked down fairly early in the release process for L10N and I find users and press asking questions which I find important enough to include in the announcement. What I do think i useful is to restate some of the points in more briefly but I leave that process to editors since it is quite hard for me to do it well. If there was a zero day release notes update then perhaps I could push more into the release notes. For example, I don't think yum-fs-snapshot plugin is actually detailed in the release notes. I realized that just recently. I search for that term in http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/index.html The first search result redirects back to the home page which is very confusing.
