WTF are "Others"!?
In this context it's anyone who is not a Dev or a SysAdmin.

True priority list:
1. Users
2. Users
3. Users
4. Users
5. Users
In your list, how would you ensure the first entry is prioritised ahead
of the last?

It seems to me, Ales is damned if he does publicize the release, and
damned if he doesn't. Are you people not the same people that were
demanding exact feature parity before dnf could replace yum? The
alternative is he doesn't post these messages, you don't engage with
him and the various other people pushing dnf+hawkey; F22 comes without
yum and then everyone is angry because they weren't involved earlier.
I don't think one of these mails has actually thanked Ales for working
on dnf, and from someone who's intimately familiar with the yum
code-base, you probably should rather than lecture him on mailing list
etiquette.

You've lost me completely now. I've no idea what you're talking about.

Those guidelines are there, to me, after reading them to prevent
@users cross-posting to @devel & @test with "How do I.." questions
Not to prevent devs posting to where they feel appropriate.

I'd say that was a rather creative interpretation. There's no wording
in the Guideline to support that position. See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines#Do_not_Cross_Post
(it's only a few lines and says nothing whatever about devels or about
specific rules for certain lists).
That said, I'd agree that there can be a limited number of exceptions.
One such is the common practice of announcing the release of a new
version of Fedora. However these are very few and far between, and
certainly don't cover the announcement of a new point release of a
package.

The point about not cross-posting is not so much that you get multiple
copies (it depends on the list-management software) but that anyone
who replies on one list won't see the replies on the other lists. This
is a recipe for confusion.
The replies on one list or the other may depend on your knowledge
of what is going on. In @devl replies my invoke Huh? from some at
@users. So If op gets a reply from @users he will reply to @users as
he has done previously.
I don't accept the argument that as dnf has been discussed there's a
justification for a point-release announcement. If we follow that
line, the list will be inundated with such announcements. If the post
had said something directly related to the discussion
The discussion is over, it's going to happen.
It's now got to has my "concern" been entertained.
about dnf it
might have made sense to add it *to the discussion thread*, but it
doesn't.
I's no longer being discussed.

Once again, I've no idea what "dev let distro" means or if it has any
bearing on the question of cross-posting. I presume it's an
abbreviation of some sort.
I for one have had enough. I thought I was making a very simple point,
without wishing to hurt anyone's feelings or going off at a tangent
about Fedora's project goals. In particular, my comment was in no way
a reflection of dnf. I don't use it at present but no doubt we all
will in the future. This is entirely beside the point.
Let's just leave it at that.

It's on users anyway, as Ales asked "here" for widespread testing.
Getting the update may not tell you what has changed unless you go
looking for it.
Not all @users will be on @testing @devel
I can see the rationale.
Though all using Fedora should be on @announce.
