RE: Address this. . .

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

There are plenty of situations where release notes aren't the correct
method for addressing an unresolved issue.

There are also plenty of unresolved issues that don't affect the
customer.

It isn't always a huge disservice -- or even a tiny one, for gosh sake
-- to either the customer or the company.
