I wasn't aware of the DevNet mailing list. It must have escaped my attention when I subscribed to DevNet.
Anyway, I don't intend to subscribe now. My subscription officially ends today. Though I intended to renew my DevNet subscription (the renewal price was right for all the software and DRKs), I don't intend on joining a new program. In fact, as it stands, I don't believe I'll be purchasing any more client apps from Macromedia. I've been largely disappointed with the Flash and Dreamweaver. The one app I really truly liked, HomeSite, is dying the slow death. Actually, I have quite a few customers using Contribute. So, when the next version of Contribute comes out, I'll probably need to purchase that. But that alone is not enough reason to join a new subscription program.
