I don't want to drop it, since it helped me have a grouped release notes
per cycle.
Especially since it contains release from when the Release Notes app didn't
existed (< 8.2). Also you cannot make the livetable "Version" filter say:
"start with 8.", since you will also have results like "10.8" if you
are
filtering for "8.x". So these pages list only the valid releases and in the
correct order.

Sounds ok.
I just want to let you know that regarding cycles, there are 2 pages:
* 1 archive page that has like a toc of links to all the releases in the
cycle + link to summary, example:
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki7x/
Yes I’ve seen this page but I don’t feel it’s very interesting. I think
it’s duplicating the existing LT and doesn’t add a lot of value. I’d be in
favor of dropping it. WDYT?
Thanks

* 1 that contains the summary, example:
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki7x/Summa…
If we were not to add this xobject, alternatively we could manually list
the cycle archive page, but I guess the xobject is a more scalable
solution.
Thanks,
Caty
