Smaller release notes containing only information for majority of

would be easier to translate and understand (also for native English
users!), resulting in wider audience. It would be also easier to
collaborate and maintain release notes.
When there are not enough resources for a 100% translation, our team
usually leaves the less important/popular sections out of the
translation. Users can read the important bits, and technical users
giving a thorough read usually don't have a problem reading eg. about
the kernel bits in English.
It'd be nice to be able to mark a section as 'untranslated', and the
final result will render a note box in that section saying eg. "The
following section is not available in your language. The English
(en_US) translation is shown instead."
