I myself am not on the announce list
Why not?
Because I never thought the list was informative.
This is a perception that needs correcting. Unfortunately, the people
that foster that perception are anything but under the redhat umbrella.
(Happen to be trying to tear it down, right now, if you know what I
mean.) Just look at their record to see the difference between what they
preach and what they do.
In many parts of Japan there is a over-the-wire emergency broadcast
system that pre-dated the internet. (And has since been at least
partially re-purposed in many small towns to bring broadband in before
any independent ISPs showed interest. I think, if you think about it,
you can think of some implementation issues there.) The original purpose
of the system was to broadcast earthquake and storm (typhoon, etc.)
warnings and such.
There are some lists in which no news is good news. That does not mean
the list is useless.
I believe the list also included package updates before. Until this
discussion I did not realize there is a dedicated list to packages
announcements.
Deleting packages information frequently got annoying back in the day.
I'm signed up for the list for announce now. Whatever list I was on
before was not informative for my interests.
Interesting information regarding Japan and their over the wire
emergency broadcasting system.
I agree, no news is good news for OMG sorts of lists.
