A brief review of the list archives shows that [ANNOUNCEMENT] notices have historically been posted to both announce and general (I've done it myself a few times). Now, just because it's always been done that way doesn't mean it shouldn't change, but no one's complained before.
They're also usually cross-posted to the relevant -dev and -user lists. Personally, I don't have a problem with cross-posting such low frequency stuff.
