An alternative would be to link to the news announcement for each release.
This would only go so far back, though.
As for trunk / tag release notes, I guess I don't feel strongly one way or
another. The only problem being that the unreleased version is the topmost,
which could be confusing. This also wouldn't work well for the 1.2/2.0
branches, since the trunk release notes really only include 3.0 items.
I think what would be best would be if we had a way to generate them right
out of JIRA. I looked at doing this last summer, IIRC, and it wasn't going
to be easy to retroactively do it. I think I would have had to reopen all
issues and then reclose them. If we were to get all this going properly
though, it would also help with roadmapping. It just seemed harder than it
should be though *shrug*
