That sounds like a formal roadmap to me. What's wrong with that?

Only I would remove duplication a little:

Keep 1)
2) - remove duplication:
  a) & b) Are not those already in the be maintained in the Bug and
Feature Request areas of SF? So just keep those areas correct.

  c) As per a) & b) ? Can SF mark items as 'Deferred and link them to
other items?

My point is to keep this stuff in one place only, and up to date:
minimise effort, remove and prevent duplication of effort.

You ought to be able to simply generate a report of what's released from
SF as well and include it in each release, so the 'What's New' or
whatever its called does not need to be separately maintained either.
