Hi Jaromil,

we worked on the announcement yesterday night during the meeting and
it was proposed to remove any specific mention to particular
derivatives. The main reason is that this is the realse of ASCII, not
of derivatives, and choosing to put in the announcement a mention to
one specific derivative or another needs an underlying criterion. I
don't have a strong opinion about it, but I would definitely prefer to
avoid creating single cases that need an explanation, in either
direction.

I think that the most sensible solution would be to put in the release
announcement a link to the page where we list all the
derivatives. That would avoid the problem altogether.

Let's try to keep it simple.
