Let's see. You sent a heads-up to -CURRENT for /usr/src/release/doc and
/usr/doc at "Mon, 11 Jun 2001 03:56:50 +0400". This was the first hint
that I would have had that you were going to touch RELNOTESng at all.
The commit that renamed RELNOTESng happened about "2001/06/10 18:48:17
PDT". This was, er, let's see, about *two hours* later?!?
No wonder no one objected...I bet you were already finished before most
people read your heads-up message! Did you realistically think that a
two-hour advance notice on a weekend was sufficient?

There would have been less confusion if your heads-up had actually been
sent with enough advance warning that people would have actually *read*
it.

You broke the overnight snapshot build of RELNOTESng for RELENG_4 (jkh
just sent me the build failure report). But I see now that you've just
MFC-ed something to src/release/Makefile...hope this fixes it.
For the record, I'd just like to state my extreme annoyance at this lack
of notification. I don't think I'm being overly demanding. It'd have
been good enough for me personally if, say, two days ago, you'd sent a
message to -doc saying "we're going to re-do some of the I18N stuff, go
read -i18n for details".
Bruce.
PS. And perhaps someone can tell me if these changes are going to get
MFC-ed and if so, how RELNOTESng is going to get handled. Remember,
it's branched, unlike doc/.
