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.

For sparc and mips, announcements (and often pre-announcements) are sent
to the gentoo-sparc/gentoo-mips lists. I'd imagine most other archs do
the same.

I agree with ciaran. I don't really care if there's a blocker on mips,
arm, sparc, etc. and I don't want to have to read about those problems.
Similarly, I'm sure sparc users don't care about x86 problems.
In short, let's post arch-specific issues to the appropriate arch list.

Fair enough. I didn't see any x86 (or any other arch) announce list so
I figured I'd get the ball rolling.

Is there an gentoo-x86 ML ? I'd think that would be an excellent
addition to our current structure. We already have mailing lists for the
other archs, why not x86? I know that x86 is the biggest user for
Gentoo, but if we need to get out x86 specific stuff, I'd think an x86
ML would be ideal. Thoughts?

This is a good idea.
