I've no idea. When I switched from Red Hat I subscribed to receive a set of disks each time an upgrade was released. I don't recall explicitly subscribing to an announce list, and I don't remember the headers on the patch notification messages. What I like is that patches are few and infrequent and very easy to apply on my schedule. Of course, I'm a CLI guy so I much prefer having control over what's installed and upgraded.
