I agree with Wayne to keep at least "What's New" (linked to the major version support page): * **What's new**: In the current order of things, the "New in Thunderbird 60" major version support page [1] seems more useful than "Release Notes" for (Sub-)Version 60.6.1 [2]. I believe for most users, the under-the-hood fixes of subversions (e.g. the latest security fixes) are not relevant at all. "Release Notes" for the latest subversion are sufficiently linked in "About Thunderbird" dialog. We should also try to better integrate/link these similar documents with each other, and consider reversing the logic: Currently, Release notes point to the subversion which isn't very interesting. Maybe they should always point to the major version [3] instead but have links to the latest subversion and the latest version. Also, the tabular style Release Notes [3] should definitely link to the major version support page [1], and maybe we'll have more creative ideas how to integrate the two better.

A general "Thunderbird Website" link may be less likely to achieve that. * **Thunderbird Website**: I suggest that we linkify the word "Thunderbird" in the "About Thunderbird" dialog to point to the TB Website.
