These are the release notes for the upcoming beta. They're larger than
the 1.7 release notes.

Since that's pretty self-explanatory, I'd like to use the rest of my
time to provide some stats.

Here's the top 6 largest release notes we've put together:

* 767 - 2.0-beta-3.rst
* 698 - 1.7.rst
* 697 - 1.6.rst
* 538 - 2.0-beta-2.rst
* 527 - 1.5.rst
* 526 - 2.0-beta-1.rst

I think we're good on 2.0.

I've also changing the naming of the existing 2.0 beta images to
2.0-*.png and updated the older release notes. This is because Sphinx
dumps all images into a single directory, and this will help us
namespace that output in the future.

Built the docs and went through them.

    This is maybe a little confusing. How about:

    The thumbnails in the change description box include a "Review" link, to allow jumping to the review UI directly without needing to find the matching thumbnail at the top of the page.
