Download pages appear to be fine; thanks for the nudge.

Should we drop the break-out details for the {Ku,Myth,Xu}buntu and Studio
flavors, in favor of letting those have their own announcements on the
respective community lists?  I agree that it reads long, but wouldn't want
to leave any of our community flavors "out in the cold" if they don't have
another suitable announcement medium.

The announcement does link to the release notes, which encompasses the
current set of known issues.  If we get some that will be fixed post-RC
instead, we can include them in the technical overview and link there?

Thanks,
