CentOS - Nov 2019 - No CentOS 8 Updates announced in Centos-announce email list

I learned from the Centos-devel email list that they aren't sending out
email to centos-announce for updates to CentOS 8, but only updating an RSS
feed.

I think this is a bad idea since no one uses RSS anymore (ducks for cover).
What do others here think of this?

I usually rely on this list for all things CentOS, so I'd certainly 
prefer to see updates for all active CentOS releases published to this 
list.

+1

Not having critical updates announced on this list is akin disaster for me.

Frankly I prefer RSS feeds for notices and news type items that are
noninteractive unlike this support email list where issues can be aired
among like minded individuals.

Good day;

I looked all over the CentOS site for the RSS link and could not find it.
I would subscribe to it, if I could.

No, please read that thread again, as nobody said it would replace it,
but feeds.centos.org was already there for quite some time, and people
can pick the solution they want :-)

In the same thread, it was said that if someone could help Johnny
figuring out how to produce mail for CentOS 8/Stream with valuable
informations, reach out to him (don't know myself what are the technical
problems/concerns so can't help with that)

Cheers,
