When wiki.ripple.com eventually goes away, the old release notes need to live somewhere. May as well just have them in the file. It's also convenient if all you have is a tarball or something. No need to look elsewhere for all the release notes. I think it really is OK to have all the notes in one file, at least until the file starts getting to >1MB territory.\r\n\r\nI do also want to edit the comments related to the [\"Release\" tags on GitHub](https://github.com/ripple/rippled/releases/), but I think someone with higher access privileges than me will have to do that. The good news is you _can_ retroactively edit those, as I've [demonstrated in my repo](https://github.com/mDuo13/rippled/releases/tag/0.25.1)."}}
