As part of this, we should consider if we want an official process to do
what I've done to kick-off this whole discussion: have a way of telling
users "Oj!  New version coming up with heaps of changes!".  Whilst major
projects might have their own mailing lists, not all users might be
subscribed to them, etc.

Should we stick with what I've done and just email haskell@ and
haskell-cafe@?
