The problem is that those things have already "come" (they're
perfectly usable right now) and we can't give any garantee that they
will be part of our official releases. Therefore, I don't think we
should add this kind of thing to our release notes.

I still think GNOME Journal is a good/better place to advertise those
new/cool stuff. We just need the writers. :-)

Just my 3 cents,
