Bill,
the very first incubating project that posted a mail on announce@a.o was
Tuscany, back in 2007...
In the past 5 years, just checking the incubating projects having used
annouance@a.o, I see 140 messages.
18/5/2007 : [ANNOUNCE] Apache Tuscany SDO Java 1.0-incubating-beta1 released
4/7/2009 : [ANNOUNCE] Apache CXF 2.0-incubator released!
23/8/2007 : [ANNOUNCE] Apache UIMA 2.2.0-incubating
25/3/2008 : [ANN] Apache NMaven 0.15-incubating Released
25/6/2008 : [ANNOUNCE] Apache CouchDB 0.8.0-incubating has been released
15/2/2009 : [ANNOUNCE] Sanslean 0.97-incubating
21/2/2009 : [ANNOUNCE] Apache Click 2.0.1-incubating released
etc, etc.
I don't think that suddenly something has changed in the announc@a.o
usage policy, related to Incubator releases.

This seems very odd to me, certainly unusual among Apache projects.
The -dev and -user lists (and even general@incubator) are used to announce that
a release candidate is available and should be tested for readiness to become
an actual release. Some projects use differently-numbered alpha and beta
designations in a similar manner.
A release candidate is, by definition, something which is not yet a release.
It doesn't seem like annou...@apache.org is an appropriate channel. The amount
of traffic that list would carry if every 'might become a release' candidate
was offered over what is supposed to be a lower-bandwidth, higher priority list
for users to pick up released updates.
My 2c nonbinding.
