Given that there is a reliable way to verify the integrity of updates,
which is far supperior to access untrusted websites, I don't see a bug
per se, and as we don't add new upstream versions, I don't think the
newly shipped versions should be named in the announcement (it is
already kind of ugly and boring).
Best Regards,
Alexander
