@@ -22,9 +22,12 @@ Kolla uses the following release notes sections:
- ``prelude`` --- filled in by the PTL before each release or RC.
Other release note types may be applied per common sense.
-Each change should include a release note unless being a ``TrivialFix``
-change or affecting only docs or CI. Such changes should `not` include
-a release note to avoid confusion.
+
+When a release note is required:
+
+- ``feature`` - best included with docs change (if separate from the code)
+- ``user impacting`` - to improve visibility of the change for users
+
Remember release notes are mostly for end users which, in case of Kolla,
are OpenStack administrators/operators.
In case of doubt, the core team will let you know what is required.
