Well, there are are bigger and smaller packages in most of the categories. I assume that if there is almost one package per category as a user I would also end-up in signing up to all lists to keep informed (announcements). Therefor maybe a general list just for announcements (new releases or even definitive plans for changes, that should be communicated to the users of the packages) might be a good solution.
