  * remove-unit and remove-relation are now discouraged in favour of
    destroy-unit and destroy-relation. The old commands now alias the
    new ones, which work just like the old ones did.

  * subordinate units are created and destroyed correctly with respect
    to addition and destruction of services and relations.
  * BUG (almost certainly, see ongoing discussion on this list):
    "require juju-info" relations don't work; this severely limits
    the utility of the subordinates feature.
  * BUG: when a principal is destroyed, it will not be removed until its
    subordinates have themselves been explicitly destroyed.
  * BUG: subordinates can be explicitly destroyed.

I may or may not be able to address some of the above during work
tomorrow; if I get any fixes merged I will let you know. After those,
there are still a couple of tricky lifecycle wrinkles to be ironed out
before it's Done, but I don't think they're a suitable subject for the
release notes; the actual conditions that will exercise the bugs are
pretty obscure.

Cheers
William
