There is a blog post with a fuller explanation here:

In general, please be aware that these quarterly review minutes are
live notes from internal meetings which are provided, only slightly
edited, on an as-is basis for transparency reasons - rather than
purposefully crafted as an accessible documentation about a topic. As
the note on top says: "Consider referring to the presentation slides,
blog posts, press releases and other official material". I am
certainly trying to add explanatory links and include parenthetical
remarks as I go along, such as I did in the above case (and it's great
to know that you and other people are actually reading them and can
benefit from such links, that makes it worthwhile adding them). But
it's a lightweight editorial effort. If the goal was to ensure that
those minutes - and the slides - are as accessible as say, a blog post
about the topic or a documentation page on Meta, it would require much
more time.
