The desktop features usually do some of this, where they mention not just
the new version, but the major improvements in that new version.
I'd already included a summary of major new features in the release notes section:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack_Grizzly#Release_Notes
We'll continue to update as the release approaches.
Also, I note: "Upgrades from Folsom to Grizzly may need
significant upstream
work to achieve." Do we know what sort of work this may imply?
So in summary fully live upgrade probably wont be possible
for grizzly, but the upgrade procedure should at least be simplified.
Here are notes on Diablo -> Essex which was an awkward transition:

Here are notes on upgrading Essex to Folsom which is better:

Here are related notes from the last OpenStack Design summit
detailing planned improvements to Grizzly in this area:
