Warning! I accidentally committed a change to release-notes devel pot

Hi,

I'm really sorry, but while committing my fi.po I also
accidentally committed 
a new version of release-notes.pot. That happened because I
didn't specify 
fi.po in the commit command. I didn't revert the change to
prevent any more 
damage from happening. Here's the diff compared to the
previous, "correct", 
version:

As to why this happened and what changed the pot file, I
have no idea. But 
somehow it looks like that's the way it should be? Could
someone take a look 
at this?

Looking at the stats [1], I think a personal email to the
people who
contributed relnotes in languages that went 99% (Spanish,
Serbian)
would make things look slick again.

No reverting necessary, perhaps; see below.

Yesterday I updated the file en_US/Kernel.xml with the (more
correct)
kernel version.  The plan was to update the PO files by hand
after
translators were finished.  It didn't occur to me that if
anyone updated
their XML files and rebuilt locally, they could generate a
new POT file.

In hindsight, it would have been a good idea for me to
announce the XML
change so people could ignore it.

Now that we have a changed POT committed, what is the best
thing to do
in terms of:

* CVS best practice
* PO/POT best practice

Open for ideas ...
