I think though that there might be a market for an intermediate-volume list; or perhaps the restrictions on fedora-devel-announce are too tight. The use-case I'm thinking of is "heads up" announcements that someone is about to break compatibility of a given package. Currently we do that on fedora-devel-list, and it's easy for someone to miss that something is happening to a package they depend on. Somebody made a suggestion a month or two back to move those announcements to fedora-devel-announce (with any followup discussion on -devel). As far as I've seen that's not been adopted, and the current guidelines for -announce certainly don't seem to favor it. In short, -announce currently seems intended only for announcements that just about every Fedora developer had better pay attention to. What should we do with announcements that affect only customers of particular packages? regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
