[discuss] dropping the manual updated changes/release notes

[Simone Tripodi <si...@apache.org>]

Good morning all guys,
one great advantage of using JIRA is that release notes can be
automatically generated, like this one[1] for 0.7.0.
So, I propose to drop the changes.xml/.txt manually updated file, and
just use what JIRA generates for us.

WDYT?
Many thanks in advance, all the best!

It makes perfect sense Simo. The main points of concern which I had were
with the root README, the munging of the codebase history (included within
root README.txt) andthe module README's which provide a brief description
of how to build and what to do thereafter.

As none of the above is affected by removing CHANGES.xml/.txt I'm a +1

Thanks
