It would be nice if someone could write a user-oriented summary of the major changes in the branch, like I did for 1.16. The 1.16 one was used for the RELEASE-NOTES file, the mediawiki-announce email and the blog post. The 1.17 one would probably be used in the same places.
I started that at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.17 some time ago, needs more collaboration.
