There are a variety of things that could be improved about the release
note generation process, however the actual process of doing the release
takes a non-trivial amount of time, and the fact that they are available
on line coincident with the release is a plus.

To have re-started the process of seeding the release files out to all
the mirrors (or holding it for the release docs in the first place)
would have further delayed a long-overdue delivery. The release
engineers made the best decision they could under the circumstances.

Yep, that's a known issue, and as you point out, the solution is already
available.
