[CentOS] 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? -- *Matt Phelps* *Information Technology Specialist, Systems Administrator* (Computation Facility, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian 60 Garden Street | MS 39 | Cambridge, MA 02138 email: mphelps at cfa.harvard.edu cfa.harvard.edu | Facebook <http://cfa.harvard.edu/facebook> | Twitter <http://cfa.harvard.edu/twitter> | YouTube <http://cfa.harvard.edu/youtube> | Newsletter <http://cfa.harvard.edu/newsletter>

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. -- Paul Heinlein heinlein at madboa.com 45?38' N, 122?6' W

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.

I would subscribe to it, if I could. Todd Merriman
