Research shows that other than a handful of nerds (us) most customers never read release notes. They just hit the update button (or don’t) and then never give it another thought.
This has led to some developers taking the position that “release notes don’t matter.” Which is not true, but that’s where we are.
I think in this case, the update probably does something rather technical and boring that would be hard to explain in layman’s terms. That’s no excuse. They should take the time and try to explain it anyway. But at the end of the day, would you rather have a programmer with untrained communication skills spending two hours trying to figure out how to come up with a reasonable set of notes, or would you rather have that same programmer spend those two hours working on getting Android Auto out the door?
In an ideal world, they’d have the resources to do both. But Lucid is not in an ideal world at the moment.
I do hope this sort of thing is a resource thing, not a philosophical thing. If it’s the former, there’s hope it will change.
