Doesn't matter much to me how we do a formal announcement. I think
adequate description in 1.5.2 (that it is really a bug-fix release for
1.5) should assuage most fears of confusion between 1.5 and 1.6.
My biggest concern would be trivializing the 1.5.2 release. Yes, it's
not what we necessarily want people to use, but it is still important
for those on 1.5 who still want/need to stay on the 1.5 line. Lots of
people have made contributions to 1.5.2 (myself included) -- an
announcement is also a bit of recognition for them.

Should we wait to do a release announcement until 1.6.1, so we can batch
the two?
My main concern here is that I don't want to encourage new 1.5.x adoption
when we have 1.6.x, and having two announcements could be confusing to new
users who aren't sure which version to start using. We could issue an
announcement that primarily mentions 1.6.1, and also mentions 1.5.2 second.
That way, people will see 1.6.x as the stable/focus release, but will still
inform 1.5.x users of updates.
