That would be fine, the important thing is that the
r350505 gets listed in the file, the people who shall
actually have to write the release notes simply need
a key to let them know they should look at this commit
and create a proper entry.

I did not set the policy or write the current RELNOTES file,
so markj and gjb have far more to say here than anything I
do.
