My feeling is that an announcement should only be made when the
packages are finally available from either the os/ or updates/
repositories. Those of us who feel so inclined to use packages from
the proposed cr/ repo. will have the technical expertise to evaluate
the repository's contents on a daily basis (or any other frequency so
desired).
