2020-04-144.12 release notes: Add some explanation behind deprecationsArthur Heymans
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?

2019-11-22Documentation/releases: Update checklistPatrick Georgi
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).
