Ah, OK. I thought the progression you used was topic->pu->next->maint.
Did that used to be the case, or am I just crazy? I also don't remember
seeing incremental updates to the release notes in this way. But then I
don't pay too much attention to them during the actual cycle.

Not a criticism (in fact, it makes a lot more sense to me). Just natural
curiosity.

Right. I saw only that it was dropped from "What's cooking" and didn't
realize you were keeping state in the release notes.

Thanks for the explanation.
