RE: Binary release announcements?

[Gagneet Singh]

Yes, this is a good Idea. Although I prefer to go the Source
installation ay, where I can do some configuration/modifications to
customize it to our needs, the other System and Repository Admins prefer
to have the patches and upgrades installed or given to them in binary
format. 

Currently, I have been doing this, and it would be a huge relef to have
the announcement about binaries available when they are ready to deploy
with the latest updates and patches.

I don't think this to be a bad idea, as Derek points out that this might
only be one or max of two announcements a week or even a month..
