Release notes in appendix?
Right now our release notes are in the documentation appendix:
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/appendixes.html
The number and size of the release notes really overwhelms the section.
I am wondering if we should move the release notes out into its own
upper section.

I think they are in the right place logically. If you feel they are
getting too big, maybe it's time to discuss dropping the oldest
information.

OK, let's just leave it then. It seemed to me the release notes were
burried among other unrelated items but if you think they look OK we can
just leave them there.

Another idea would be to turn each major version into its own <sect1>,
and have minor versions as <sect2> instead (so for example we would have
release-8-3-6 as sect2, not sect1).

Hmm, but then what do we do with the subsections of the major-release
notes? I guess they'd end up on the same level as the minor release
headers, which doesn't seem very helpful.
