[wp-hackers] The next release.

[Mark Shields]

I know what you're trying to accomplish, Graeme, but you're coming off like
the person you're chastizing. Don't feed the trolls!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll -- let him have his empty lunch
and be done with it. Statements such as Jefte's are meant to incite a flame
war.

So that's enough being off-topic. Back on-topic, I would think making
available the changes in several different ways would be useful: 1) in a
text file included with the WordPress install ... 2) on the
WordPress.orgwebsite ... 3) as part of the installation text
