It's in there:

DOCUMENTATION:
- there is a lot of documentation available both in electronic form on
the internet and in books, both Linux-specific and pertaining to
general UNIX questions. I'd recommend looking into the documentation
subdirectories on any Linux ftp site for the LDP (Linux Documentation
Project) books. This README is not meant to be documentation on the
system: there are much better sources available.
- There are various readme's in the kernel Documentation/ subdirectory:
these typically contain kernel-specific installation notes for some
drivers for example. See ./Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what
is contained in each file.

Intro
=====
This document contains a list of the latest stable releases of the most
important packages for Linux as well as instructions for newcomers to
the 2.0.x series of kernels. By glancing through it, you should be
able to find out what you need to upgrade in order to successfully run
the latest kernels.

Might help if a reference to the Changes file were in the README
though;)
