For those wanting to do advocacy work for the release, in addition to the 
release announcement and highly detail release notes, there's also a press 
release:

   http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/pressrelease.html

It is a bit more verbose and salesy than the announcement, but a lot shorter 
than the release notes.
