While "announce" indicates a one way form of speech, unlike "talk", I
take your point. However, there's no reason people can't utilize the
announce list to follow up an announce post with "quick responses on
problems people are facing, what might be wrong with it, etc." Such
posts are geared toward issue with the release itself, which makes
sense.
