Just because it hasn't been used doesn't mean it shouldn't be
used...there have been a number of notices on the -dev list recently
that could/should have gone out on announcements (folsom-1
yesterday?).

Part of the point of low-volume announce lists is that when something
_does_ show up from there you pay attention to it. I don't think
parsing through a newsletter achieves the same result at all, neither
do blogs or twitter/FB/G+ unless those accounts are functional
equivalents to -announce, then its just a matter of remembering to go
check them.
