announces

[samuel verstraete]

The thing is that though i'm fairly confident that though the
xorg at lists.freedesktop.org mailing list is very interesting for ppl
that have problems building xorg and for all other kinds of information
it gives me an overload on information that i simply not need and imho
there're a lot of ppl (mainly distro maintainers prolly) that just
want to know when they should update certain packages without knowing
all problems associated with x and y... I mean, i'm subscribed 1 day to
this list and i've receive 50 messages already... i could of course
start deleting all of them with an automatic filter but next thing that
will happen is that someone forgets the [ANNOUNCE] flag and i missed a
release... (which could even be a securitty related release)
