That's a possibility, too. It's a change from how we've historically
used the announce mailing list, but that doesn't mean we're locked
into it forever.

You're right that we intentionally keep announce very low traffic. Too
low? Maybe. There may come a point when people unsubscribe, at which
point we lose the value of using the list. But I honestly have no idea
what the traffic rate that would drive off a non-trivial number of
people. We've traditionally been very conservative in this regard, and
I'm willing to believe that we're far too conservative. But I don't
want us to take the brakes off entirely. I think we should come up
with some intentional guidelines, if for no other reason than to
indicate to the community that "yes, your message qualifies".
