@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil The problem last year was that the release notes were rearranged completely, but they were missing some release notes from backported PRs 17:17:23
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Something like that lead to a messy merge 17:17:32
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil So my suggestion to resolve that: Rearrange the release notes as early as possible, such that they just need minor polish towards the release date 17:18:26
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Oh and I'll write the release notes for lib, I guess I should get to that soonish 17:19:00

Just in case I'm missing something important here, what exactly do you mean by 'rearrange the release notes'? Is there any larger-scale work to be done beyond things like making sure that the individual descriptions make sense and they adhere to a fairly consistent style?

@jacg:matrix.org@jacg:matrix.org A number of links in the release notes MD source have a $ where I would expect a #, for example [services.davis]($opt-services-davis.enable). Does this have some meaning that has escaped me, or are these the consequence of people missing the # key and hitting the adjacent-on-many-keyboards $ instead? 12:48:55

No I think you got it, there's no $... syntax

Sometimes they can be shortend a bit. We tend to have quite large release notes. There should maybe also a summary of important changes in a section above -> This is also for tech news website that will write about the new NixOS release.
