I agree. Stefano had a go at simplifying the ARM section, but it can clearly be 
simplified more

Lars / Sarah,

Who is the release announcement supposed to be targeting? And about how long is 
an expected release announcement meant to be? It seems awfully technical in 
places.

The main point of the ARM section I think is to demonstrate that our support is 
growing significantly (hence naming the boards makes sense) and that this 
release has stopped being so much of a "tech preview" and is going to have a 
stable ABI, working user-space tools, &c &c.  People who need to know the 
technical details can then look more into them.
