Worse, it's a chicken-and-egg problem which is documented here:
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#releasing-release
<http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#releasing-release>
"""
NOTE: We announce the release before updating the website since the
website update links to the release announcement sent to the announce@
mailing list.
"""
Which is worse for the end user?
- a broken link to the release announcement
- a missing link to the download artifact referenced by the official
announcement
You forgot:
- a missing release announcement.
I'm pretty sure users are capable of telling us about missing links, but
not about missing announcements.
