However, I'm curious what made you think about this in the first place? That is, you refer to obfuscation, which has a negative connotation -- as if we are intentionally trying to hide something. Or is it just that tinyurl.com links are risky because you don't know where they go, even if you trust the source that wrote them?
I used obfuscation because one cannot see what is behind the tinurl link or whether or not one already knows this. E.g. when there would be instead a link to bugzilla I would know, what I can expect from the link and do not need to follow it. Also I get this information, when I am offline while reading the release notes. Additionally I saw the advantages of using the wiki or some other method and imho using tinyurl in a the release notes looks not very professional.
