I believe I invented this file for the 3.0a1 release, when I realized
that some things were broken but I didn't want to hold up the release
any longer. I also kept adding to it for a while *after* the release,
which seems odd, except that I also copied the updated contents to the
website. Possibly making it public on the website is the main goal of
the file -- it makes users aware of the top ten (say) "gotchas"
without having to scan the bug tracker or ask the mailing list.
