Of interest only to developers, perhaps. I'd actually think many users
will do a little dance when they find out there is promising development in the flashplayer area. I know I did.

But if they don't make an announcement, how will developers know about it?

On rereading, the problem is with the LWN headline, not the press release. The title shouldn't be "GNU Gnash released", because it hasn't been. It should be something like "GNU Gnash -- it's, like, a thing, almost!" :)

Agreed: Jon, I suggest that you fix the headline. The FSF did not use the word "released", and it is clear from the announcement text that it's really a call for developer assistance. What is being announced is a project, not a product.
