My proposal was to discuss on -factory and just have a pointer in the wiki to
it so that somebody can easily lookup these some time later - so I think we're
in agreement,

I like the wiki and I like [ANNOUNCE] as a prefix. I still think we should have a more prominent place for this information on the main page (www.opensuse.org). With the wiki in place a link to the wiki page should suffice. I am mostly thinking of users not subscribed to any mailing list and people not necessarily in tune with checking the wiki for important information.
