+Feature Release Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+New features should be accompanied by a file in the repository under the docs/RELEASE_NOTES_NEXT/ directory. The file should be in asciidoc format and contain enough description to enable the documentation team to write something coherent about the new functionality. As much as possible, the name of the file should match the feature. No numbering, etc. is required.
