No need for both, a single

and I'm still receiving over 2500 new

Dimstar told us this was coming.

I've not seen the traditional "New Tumbleweed snapshot..." announcement
for this heavy update.

It is on the list, as usual.

No, not as usual but under a different Subject, may be this is the 
reason why I unnoticed it.

*/Brace for impact: Snapshot 20210212 is a full rebuild based on glibc 
2.33/

There were two messages:

1) an extra heads-up about the size of the snapshot
   https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/G4USE4NMP3P46SM7SRMSAJKANMAAJWRU/ 

2) the regular announcement when 20210212 was released
   https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/FA5L2RXYRRPNLI4KNH5TU35CXBR2FHN5/ 

I don't think there is anything that was missing from the announcement
perspective - only from the reader perspective. Of course it is never
easy to follow all mailing lists and upfront identify, based on
subject, if that is really relevant.
 Ideas for improvements are welcome.

Cheers,
  Dominique
