Raphael,

Great work. I never heard of the DEHS before but I must say it looks very 
good.

I was wondering if it would become possible in the future to subscribe to 
a package t get this mail without being a packager/developer ? As a 
CentOS/RHEL developer I would be very interested to track software release 
via DEHS.

I now use Freshmeat, and IMO Freshmeat should also include something like 
this to keep on top of new releases.

I blogged about DEHS out of pure excitement :) Here is the link:
