I think most people have aggreed that this "announce" list would be a good
idea.
If we can restrict this to short messages and only for severe problems, then i
would support this too.
What i don't want (as expressed in my previous mails) is to promote the stable
branch as a replacement for minor releases, and subsequently neglect them in
the long run.
If somebody choose to run from the stable branch, then he must also invest
some time to follow the changes that are done "his" branch. I don't want to
increase the workload for bugfixes in the stable branch for the developers,
as this is already a boring and unpopular work. If one must write a lengthy
announcements for every backport, then i worry that fewer people care about
this branches and the backport of their fixes.
