Maybe, maybe not. We're supposed to continue with fedora.us releases,
and since we have lost fedora-package-announce at fedora.us, there
haven't been any package announcements anymore.

If it could be automated, that would be very good, e.g. like "rawhide

list archives cover maybe 50% of the published packages and updates.
Maybe even less.
