Yeah, I can definitely see your point with that.
I think the "missing piece" here is some way of letting people know that
"ok, now you need to start testing the XYZ tarball, as we're preparing for
a release."
yes, that's a messaging problem, not a technical problem.
I need to be more vocal about entering the freeze (a single mail won't
make it) and should probably point to the snapshots.
On a related note, we should probably set up a
libvirt-announce(a)redhat.com
mailing list, used for release/important announcements and similar. Not
everyone that wants to know of the releases wants to receive user and/or
developer mailing list traffic.
We had that debate a couple of years ago, at the time the size of the
followers were small enough it wasn't considered useful (-users too) but
at this point, yes, that's something to do,
Daniel
