I've always wondered why you produce so many announcements. Isn't one 
per package per release enough?

By the time they arrive here, with all the meaningless (to users) junk 
at the front of the subject line, it's really difficult to see whether 
the announcement is relevant to me.

Removing* the list name would help.

Having one announcement per package would help.

Having a separate list for each CentOS release would help.



* RH introduced the "insert list name into subject line" trick with 
Hurricane (RHL 5.0). The reaction was so negative, it abandoned the idea.
