Ah ok good to hear thats an alternative looked into.  I do think the
'updates at fedoraproject.org' package announces to fedora-test-list is a good
subtopic candidate, unless those are actually going to get moved.  Without
getting too complex all those package announcements together might be one big
'on/off' rather than choosing which related test releases to receive on that list.
