Is it this one in the upstream?
yes, that is the one. i was wondering if the announcement just was forgotten or if the updates wasn't really ready yet but slipped into the repos.
Which would annoy you more?
- Update sans announcement
- Announcement sans update.
There will always be a timing issue, and I'd go with releasing the update, allowing mirrors to sync and then the announcement.
As long as the sysop doesn't depend on announcements to do updates, it shouldn't matter. You can always cron yum check-update, and read the cron mail.
