updates list?

[Matthew Lenz]

Is there a list were updates to fedora are detailed when they are
released?  For example, where is the information about why xorg was
updated for fc4, etc.

If you are talking about the list of package changes see

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160211

If you are looking for rationale for all package changes then I will 
work on it for the next release. Any help is most welcome

I'm referring to updates-released.  I remember the errata that used to
be on redhat's website in the pre-fedora days.  It was nice to know why
something was being updated.

You can read the fedora announcement list or fedoranews.org or  check 
the rpm changelog

None of those lists have ever announced any of the FC4 changes thus far.
Atleast according to the mailman archives and MARC.  Is there anyway to
read the changelog without downloading the updates first?

there SHOULD be annoucements in fedora-annouce-list for each 'set' of
packages in updates-released. Unfortunately the creation of
annoucement text is not automated and maintainers have to remember to
provide the annoucement text and that doesn't always happen. The
annoucement text can lag the release of the packages.
If an update goes without an annoucement for a few days its
appropriate to file a bug report in an effort to remind the maintainer
to produce the annoucement text.

Long term i think everyone agrees that some sort of infrastructure and
client tools that expose notification text to users is a good idea,
but i don't think its an immediate priority considering other issue.
