While I agree with the point you make, I don't believe the apache upgrade
issues were announced on the announce list.  The news in the tree thing is
a good idea, IMO, but it'll take some time to implement.  "Earth changing"
(for some Gentoo users) announcements can and should go to announce --
that's what it's there for.

If I'm wrong about the apache upgrade, and it /was/ on announce, and I
just forgot about seeing it /there/ as I had already seen it discussed
here, which I /do/ remember, great!  I just don't recall seeing it there,
and tho I don't run apache myself, am of the opinion changes as big as
those described for apache /should/ have been on announce.
