Not necessarily, either approach would be fine.   In fact, I'd love so see
alternate ideas for what to put in P2.   What P2 needs to say is "why this
new release is exiting" non-specific to the features involved (since some
members of the press won't understand the features anyway).   Possible ideas
include:

1) growing size of our community (inc. new companies)
2) just a handful of high-end features left and then equal to DB2, Oracle,
etc. (this is probably too similar to last time).
3) increased pace of development, faster than any comparable product/project.
