Re: Please *wait* before sending cygwin-announce messages

Please *do* send your upload announcements here, but just the raw facts,
please, no descriptions of why you are updating or what the new features
are.  Just URLs are all that is required.

Let me see if I am reading this correctly:

When sending a message to cygwin-announce, it should not contain any information about the motivation for the update (e.g. sync with upstream or Cygwin-specific bug fix), nor should it contain a list of features and/or bug fixes?

When you say "just URLs are required", did you mean to say "if the information is available on the web (e.g. on an upstream project web page), just include a URL instead of copying and pasting"? I can agree with that, that would cut out a lot of information that is available elsewhere.

But the lack of a description of the motivation for the update seems a little odd, that information is simply not available elsewhere.

Did I misread the request?
