Very well done - especially the release philosophy bit. You hit releng's |

The content is very good, and the only problem that I could find is the |
| 24 |
lack of a heading for the supported profiles table. Could you perhaps |
| 25 |
add in some <th>'s so that the users know what they are looking at in |
| 26 |
those columns? |
