Releases of binaries, releases of API consumers (eg, tortoisesvn,
subclipse), releases of related tools (eg, svnmerge, svndumptool). None
of these are currently on-topic for announce@, and it won't scale to
have all of them on us...@.
I'm wondering if having a dedicated ${bikeshed}-annou...@subversion.a.o
list for these would be a good idea...
