I feel quite like a pioneer. Have posted to Zout's page.

I think it is a brilliant idea. I have just posted to mb-users a proposed
change to ReleaseEventStyle. Should I also post here.

I don't know if it's feasible, or who can post to announce, but I think MB
Announce would be better, and potentially hit more users?
Otherwise I love the idea!

Great idea! I think the first and third idea are pretty easy to
accomplish. I've created
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/RecentStyleChanges for this purpose. I
suggest we start using it.

A blog post is also always a good idea (although not everyone may have
access).
