It's relevant to users, so let's cross-post all package announcements to fedora-list and remove the separate list.

What is easier? To read fedora-announce-list every day (roughly a single message per month or so) or to skim over hundreds of messages on fedora-list every day? > >> Maybe because English is not my native tongue, but the word > >> "announcement" doesn't to suggest something that important. > > > > Announcements at the airport or at the train-station, do you ignore > > them? > > > > If I remember right, the announcements in [...] So, if you listen to those announcements, why do you consider a mailing-list for Fedora related announcements not important?

Let's stop splitting-hairs - some Fedora users might prefer to receive announcements via SMS or IM instead of being forced to read e-mail lists daily. Other spend much more time on IRC or reading news feeds. The thing here is that because you read fedora-list every day, you want to get announcements in that single place, too, while I argue that so far it isn't asked too much to subscribe to fedora-announce-list. Very low traffic that could go directly to your inbox. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
