On the other hand, as discussed in the docs list, we're trying to keep
release notes pages short this release on the off-chance someone will
actually read them :). My intention is really to have the Common Bugs
page become an 'obvious' destination (one that people get used to
looking at) in its own right, which is where I got to with the Errata
page in Mandriva.

So far the F11 Common Bugs page has been visited 57,000 times, so it's
obviously getting around :). The F10 page has just over 40k hits, and
obviously it's had a six month head start. So we're getting somewhere
with that.
