I think the OP is confused by the fact that there's so much overlap
between those sets of release notes.  But that's to be expected from
concurrent minor updates.  When we back-patch a bug fix, it very
often applies to several release branches; and when that happens
we almost always use identical release-note entries for all the
branches.

Another possible source of confusion is the version number format
change.  10.4 is a minor release in the v10 branch, not a major
release such as 9.6 was.
