well, I did it the other way round, i.e. grab the tarball, run md5/sha*sum
on it, then compare with the announce email. but you're right, it's
confusing this way, i'll just shorten it to "Fedora is using that now".

RHEL does for example, but it doesn't have the churn to justify keeping it
in the release announce.
