Not reading the release notes.  I read release notes, but then I read cereal 
boxes...  I really don't think you can even expect people to _glance_ at 
release notes unless you present them the way Microsoft presents an EULA, 
but I don't actually recall Adept even offering me the option to browse the 
release notes.  Does Gnome's update-manager do that?
