Err, there are about a hundred distributions based on
Debian. Do you think polluting d-d-a with announcements from these
100 or so distributions is appropriate? (I can easily patch in
Xandors and mepis announcements to d-d-a, really, and others should
not be hard to pick up).
The Debian development announcements mailing list is for
*DEBIAN* development announcements -- everything else os off topic.

Err, we distribute free software. How downstream users use
free software is up to them. This is the freedoms we are striving
for. I don't really want to hear announcements from gazillions of
people about how they are planning to integrate software I work on
into proprietary distributions of Linux.

Then take such off topic stuff off the debian development
announcements list.
