Obviously it is. Still an announcement could be automated based on changes in the CTAN archives. I do this by postprocessing the mirror output (want my perl script?). Maybe could even diff the base/changes.txt spqr> (just joking, i am sure there are no bugs :-}) Try 'cd packages/tools; latex2e tools.ins'. A simple fix (diff below). Guess I should figure out how to send a bug report.
