Why? This seems arbitrary without more details.

I’ve spent the past several weeks staring at the release notes, talking to users, and putting together a presentation on it that was delivered last night, also culminating in the press release. I put a lot of effort into researching what to highlight up top, which is augmented in the release details itself. Additionally I started from what Nathan had and tweaked a few items.

If there something you specifically disagree with I’d like to better understand.
