I am having a look at this document and I am wandering if this is an 
useful
document? Clearly I see value in the table with all requirements 
summarised,
but I do not see it for the rest of the document.

So, I propose to actually rename change.rst to requirements.rst and 
remove
everything but the requirements chapter and the links.

(proposal)
Release changes probably need a CHANGELOG file, to describe new and
deprecated things.

And information about tools should be in other document.
(/proposal)

What do you think?
