Ok, when we're already discussing the update/errata announcements here
are some more things to consider:

1. all announcements should be GPG signed by a central CENTOS key
2. md5sums and/or sha1sums should be listed next to each rpm filename
3. the announcements should be a little more verbose (include
ChangeLog, release date, obsoletes, advisory id, ...). Use the RHES or
Fedora announcements as templates
4. a web-site like https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4es-errata.html
should be created

Thanks,
Bernd.
