Some features are made mandatory, meaning that some platforms have
been dropped from master. This also explains that further development
on these popular platforms can happen on the 4.11 branch.
TODO is this really the right place or is it too technical for release
notes?

Having the release notes mostly ready one week before the release
allows for better review.
Some statistics, the actual release date and commit ID can only be
filled in on release day, but there's a tried & true technique for
that: placeholders.
It's also a nice touch to have the release notes of a release within
its source tarballs, so push them right before creating the release
(since changes in Documentation/releases won't break coreboot in
any way).
