Discontinued packages - Amanda and Bacula - 
we used to ship amanda-server and client, we now ship amanda-client and bacula-server and bacula-client.  So all we removed was amanda-server. Not sure how to express this in this format, but it matters a lot to enterprise backup customers.

---------------------
Upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Beta (add: from RHEL5 or from) previous pre-release versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is not supported. If an upgrade of this type is attempted issues may be encountered (replace while with including) upgrading Java/OpenJDK packages. To work around this, manually remove the old packages and reinstall.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-11 20:31:18 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Updated this to just state that amanda-server has been discontinued.
is bacula a new package? if so does it warrant a writeup in the main part of the release notes?

Updated to:

Ryan, does this affect the change to the release notes?
