It was announced in the past.

But I guess you are hinting that in spite of this message you sent:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-10/msg00797.html,
when a Windows binary is uploaded there will be no announcement for
it.  That is different from past practice.

I am subscribed to info-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org. It's possible that I
received the message twice, once for emacs-devel and once for
info-gnu-emacs, and I deleted the latter.

The real point is that there was no announcement of a posting
of Windows binaries.  No problem, if it is just a matter of time,
as suggested in your emacs-devel msg (today) cited above.

But it will be a shame if the practice of announcing this is
dropped because you don't think posting a Windows binary is
announcement-worthy.   On n'arrete pas le progres.
