I assume the 'cr' goal is to provide early release of
un-vetted (as to potential changes needed for anaconda and ISO
making) updates during intersticial periods when a new point
release is being turned into an installable ISO
Once the installable releases, CR seems irrelevant until the
next time, as 'updates' would have content
As such the flow of announcements will be a flood, or famine
I would set up a centos-cr-announce mailing RO list, add a
request to the message footer that the receiver file bugs, and
just post there
Optionally it might make sense to partition this list into
$MAJOR variants
centos-cr-4-announce
centos-cr-5-announce
centos-cr-6-announce
