Are there going to be any CentOS 6 announcements made about bug fixes etc made to CentOS Announce mailing list ?
CentOS 6 has been around for a while now, has many fixes available, yet I haven't seen a single announcement. Perhaps I am just not subscribed to the correct list .

Everything in CR will get announced to the centos-announce-cr list.
We should have all the announcements out and caught up by the middle of next week.

FWIW, announcements or no announcements, I've been pretty happy to see the updates coming through CR, and I thank you and the team for this. Back when it was first mentioned I wasn't actually too enthralled with the idea, but what a difference a few months makes. If it weren't for the legwork in making CR a reality the lag in getting 6.1 out would be very difficult to rationalize.
The 6.0 to 6.1 anaconda changes alone must be giving you guys fits; from what I've gathered, both in actually installing C6.0 versus RHEL 6.1 as well as in the upstream release notes, there were fairly extensive fixes implemented in anaconda.
I've not looked at the beta 6.2 release notes yet....

I agree, I have no problem at all with the execution of the fixes coming through the CR channel. My problem is slightly different. I work for a company who reclassify all the fixes into their own high, medium and low categories with corresponding rules about who must install them and when they must be installed by. Clearly if no announcements are coming out then there isn't going to be a CentOS 6 "control file" being built.
