Yes, this is a good Idea. Although I prefer to go the Source installation ay, where I can do some configuration/modifications to customize it to our needs, the other System and Repository Admins prefer to have the patches and upgrades installed or given to them in binary format.
Currently, I have been doing this, and it would be a huge relef to have the announcement about binaries available when they are ready to deploy with the latest updates and patches. I don't think this to be a bad idea, as Derek points out that this might only be one or max of two announcements a week or even a month..
