Thats the description for the scm-commits list? package-announce gets updates announcements of all the packages going to stable updates through bodhi. > I wonder, would it be better to drop this recommendation?

Yes, I think it might be worth mentioning these lists, but not reccomending subscribing unless interested. Something like: There are some completely optional lists that contain posts about all packages: scm-commits, which has the commits for every package in fedora posted to it, and package-announce, which has every stable update notice posted to it as packages are pushed stable. Both of these are very high traffic mailing lists and are only suggested if you have the time and energy to watch all the changes going on in fedora packages. Or something like that. kevin
