Version 3.0a2 - Release Date 07-Dec-2007

[Guido van Rossum]

I'm a little confused -- why did you remove the release notes for
previous betas but leave those for the alphas in place? ISTM that the
file was an accumulation of release notes throughout the various
releases -- just like Misc/NEWS, but with a different focus. This is
how release notes in other products I've seen typically work, too.
