 =====================
 
+In order that there will be information about validation of each stable
+release in the release notes, add a file called 'validation' in the local
+stable release directory created in 0-set-stable-release. In that file
+write some notes about the validation that has been performed by the
+various vendors.
+
 When all are ready, it's time to make the release commit, which basically
 does:
 
 - change the release version (say from v17.08 to v17.08.1)
-- update the release note (with the bug fixing commits listed in the release
-  note)
+- update the release note with the bug fixing commits
+- update the release note with the validation from the 'validation' file
 - commit above changes with a short commit log ("release $stable_release")
