Okay, that I agree on ... note that my press list contains alot more then
that, most of which wouldn't be appropriate for a minor release ... maybe
we need to setup a seperate 'minor release' list?

Please note, I have no problems sending it out to a bunch of email
addresses, I'm just questioning whether it makes sense to do so ...
freshmeat not withstanding, since I don't see it as much of an annoucne
site as a centralized list of OSS software ...
