Could you split-up announcements like this into multiple announcements, |
| 6 |
so the subject lines remain a reasonable length, please? |

Particularly when there's lots of unrelated packages. If they're all in |
| 9 |
the same pkg-category or are otherwise obviously related, it's not so |
| 10 |
bad. But here we have rox packages, firmware, cluster, media, office, |
| 11 |
gnome, dev-sharp... all combined in the same very long subject that's |
| 12 |
well beyond any reasonable single-line subject length, making it very |
| 13 |
easy to miss something critical for the very people who are otherwise |
| 14 |
targeted, those who could be interested in maintaining those packages, as |
| 15 |
well as any remaining users who might like an early heads-up before they |
| 16 |
find their @world update broken due to now-masked packages that they'd |
| 17 |
have otherwise caught in the last-rites announcement. |

That request made, thanks for helping to de-cruft the tree. I'm glad |
| 20 |
someone's putting in the effort. =:^) |
