I think on monero-announce we should send something once new binaries are available so there can be immediate practical actions from readers

^ i agree this would be the best course of action, it's also consistent with what we did in past

My thought was notifying then as well but notifying now so people can be aware of it and keep an eye out

For the same reasons we published this blog post now

in general I agree to inform people as much as we can of the HF intention, but for monero-announce list we try to keep it a very high S/N ratio, so preferable when dates are closer and confirmed, and binaries available

Understood! Will update the checklist to reflect that approach.
