I gave packagers one more day since I was late with the tagging,
so rather 12 September.

I see what you mean. But in fact this means splitting the notes into two 
sections: interesting for users and interesting for developers, right?

The API changes are not interesting to users, while the fact that
"K New Stuff" works again does.

I'm not sure if both types of items should then go onto the dot, or if 
developer changelog should use another channel (I'm thinking that posting them 
to kde-core-devel would be a good idea in any case, for dinosaurs like me who 
have enough trouble catching up with mailing-lists already and don't read news 
websites in addition to that -- but I can take care of that, anyway).
