Perhaps not but it could be useful anyway.  People may be subscribed to
both lists but are filtering announce to a separate folder.  That way
they can skim the busier list but pay a bit more attention to the
announce one.  Maybe there are other possibilities.  More options is
generally better.

I do agree though that announcements, especially any concerning other
lists, should probably be duplicated on that list.
