The postings here are not for people who need to be up-to-date.
These people read ctan.announce or something like that. The postings
here are for the "normal" user, the wider (now smaller) audience, so
that they see that development is going on and perhaps check what a
update is doing or what a new package offers.

The few ctan annoucements do not restrict your right to start an
interesting discussion. But the group is quite low traffic now
compared to what it was years ago. Nowadays you find more people one
sites like tex.stackexchange.
