Yeah, that's another issue too. Having mutating "release notes" is awful
and a PR disaster. Users only see the changelog once, assuming is
immutable, because one thinks that releases are immutable and complete
(those are very fundamental properties of a release, otherwise is a
preview or a snapshot).

That's another thing that I think is important to address eventually.
