I observe how so many of these kinds of release announcements do not start the text with a brief line introducing the project. I had never heard of Kea and clicked through out of curiosity, but that info is yet another click away: Kea is a "Modern, open source DHCPv4 & DHCPv6 server".

Right? I find submissions titles like this so frustrating: it's simply not possible to be aware of every project out there. Please, please provide me some context in the title. This would be way better with a title something like "ISC releases KEA DHCP server 3.0 as LTS"

The HN guidelines state to use the original title "unless it is misleading or clickbait", which is why this happens.

Copy paste that phrase on every piece of content to save you a click? Why would you describe a project on a > v1 release announcement? After v1 the project has been introduced, no reason to continuously reintroduce it because someone might eventually add it to their zeitgeist.

Yes please.
