To the end that they exist at all.

One of the biggest organizational anti-patterns of the modern SaaS world is the move away from release notes.

It's a question of whether a company has a competent enough change control process to be able to generate a list of changes for a given release.

If a tech product company can't meet the low bar of documenting its changes, then it probably shouldn't be trusted?

Release notes aren't for end users in the same way that the wiring diagram taped to the back of your appliances isn't for end users.

They're for experts to either directly use... or to communicate in simpler language to end users.
