d-d-a has 5700 subscribers [1] and is archived/mirrored around the
world. Non-developers by far outnumber developers in subscribing that
list. It doesn't really matter, if it's an 'officially endorsed' message
from the project or not, the point is it was an 'announcement' and it
was perceived as inappropriate (not only OT) by many.

No doubt, the harm would have been bigger, if it had been posted to d-a
instead. But even then some would argue that it's not so bad, because it
could have been even worse...
