Volume of notifications from dotnet/announcements

[xtqqczze]

The recent batch of 46 "Patch-Tuesday" issues raises a question about whether dotnet/announcements remains an effective channel for communicating important updates.

While security announcements are valuable, opening a separate issue for every Microsoft Security Advisory generates a significant volume of notifications for anyone watching the repository. As this volume grows, the signal-to-noise ratio inevitably suffers, making it harder to identify and prioritise announcements that genuinely require attention.

Hey, until the team decides on this, you can cut most of the noise on your side:

1. Unwatch dotnet/announcements.
2. Watch dotnet/core with Custom > Releases only. You get one notification per .NET version each Patch Tuesday (4 this month instead of 46), and each release links its release notes, which list every CVE fixed.
3. For the non-security stuff (breaking changes, previews, EOL), bookmark this filter: announcements without security advisories

Hope that helps! If it solves the problem, feel free to mark this as the answer. It helps other people with the same issue find the fix faster.
