The Release Notes look great!

They present the information in a very readable form.  I fear our
customers will not appreciate the work that's gone into being able to
enable Nautilus be default, but I expect it will be just one of those
things that "just work" without fanfare.  :-(

I have one suggestion for additional information:

        On Solaris we've moved all of the release to local disk, and
        switched over to installing the Athena value-added with the
        Solaris pkgadd system instead of the home-grown method.
        
I think that information is useful to private workstation owners because
it makes Athena Solaris look and act a lot more like stand-alone
Solaris.  It's a user visible change that adds to the list of things
that you DONT see as differences.

Heather Anne:  Do you think you can find a place for that info?
