The announcement has arrived about an hour ago to the kde-announce list.
Why you saw the packages first? Well, because KDE is such a great project.
When KDE tags a release, the announcement is done more or less a week later.
In that time, tarballs are prepared, tested, and released to the packagers
(only). During that time the packagers have time enough to prepare the
binaries and upload them.
This also gives time to translators to work on the announcement, etc.
IMHO, this is something that A LOT of projects do very very badly. Is really
frustrating seeing that a major release of a software is released, and that
you just can't even take a look at it because is not packaged, not
translated, modules/plugins are not ported, etc.
