I think they should.  Having new blockers come up on an arch box when
attempting to update is a little worrysome.  Or having a new way of
doing things (such as the inevitable move to udev in lieu of devfs).

The things that I would hope to see in such an announcement would be a
suitable upgrade path, reason for change, and a link to gentoo-dev
discussion if available.
