Let me be blunt....
formalized testing release annoucements have value in communicating
intent AND encouraging people who are willing to test updates to grab
the ones the want to test.
Comments in response to a question have less value as an effective
general communication tool.  People out in the wild do use threaded
email clients...and yer living in a fantasy land if you think everyone
intereted in doing testing of update packages reads every single post
in test-list. And considering how much very little developers in
general (not djones specifically) have time to read ALL the
mailinglists where end-users are hashing out things amongst
themselves...it seems particularly crass to expect people out in the
community to read every thread that comes down the wire looking for an
update annoucement. If its important enough to push out a new package
to testing its important enough to communicate effectively.
