I was going to bring that point up today. How are all the new whatsnew 
updates going to get into the 3.4.0 release?  They've, correctly, been 
being pushed to the default branch.  But, AFAIK, for them to show up in 
the 3.4.0 released docs we ship, all of the doc changes are going to 
need to be cherry picked (or a big mass diff from the default branch) 
into the 3.4 release branch, otherwise they will not be part of the 
release.  (They certainly won't be part of the docs included with the 
installers I build unless they are in the 3.4 releasing branch.)

Thank you for all the work you've been putting into the whatsnew doc!
