Feature list is more developer oriented. Release Summary is a subset of
the feature list highlighting major features and "themes". If there are
for example 3 user interface related features, 4 security related ones
and 2 performance related ones, we want to highlight them together in
the release summary. The actual release announcement is sort of like a
easter language and is not easily translatable and we needed an
alternative that was closer to a press release. It is in fact the press
release writing attempt that was combined with the release notes
overview and morphed into the release summary for Fedora Core 5 and
since it turned out be fairly successful (a lot of users and reviews
referenced that), we continue doing it.
