Some release notes should have [MERGED] markers on them but didn't:

Browse Source 
kern.msgbuf sysctl and dmesg(8) not SGID, umodem driver, uscanner
driver, fpa(4) works on alpha, arp(8) -s pub/only, TCP_COMPAT_42
removal, bktr(4) update to 2.18, snd module dependencies work,
chown(8) -R does the right thing with symlinks, killall(1) works
correctly with SUID root processes, strnstr(3)/strcasestr(3),
style.perl(7).

Remove some somewhat-lacking-in content release notes:  PCI subsystem
cleanup, netgraph(4) updates.

I don't mind reinstating the latter group of release notes, if there's
something less vague that can be said about them.
