Subject: FBSD 2.0R - Where's the 4.4-Lite Release Notes?

Instead of the FreeBSD specific "Release Notes" file in 2.0-RELEASE,
I understand there is a "real" release notes file that came on the
4.4 and 4.4-Lite tapes and/or CD-ROM which gives more technical
information on what has changed from 4.3 to 4.4. Is there any chance
this document can be included in the FreeBSD release? If I missed it,
can someone point me at it?

There are significant changes in the UFS filesystem that make FBSD
1.1.5.1 and 2.0R filesystems incompatible. I'm sure there are
other significant technical issues, and I'd prefer to read about
them BEFORE beginning to install 2.0R. The FreeBSD "release notes"
file tends to breeze over major issues.

Thanks... 
- Mike
