But *this* announcement would not be a global one. Launching article
quality survey is of great interest for the english wikipedia due to its
size. It is of much reduced interest for smaller language (as the lack
of interest in validation topics by minor languages show in meta).
Wikipedias are at different stages of development. 2M global article can
help smaller languages get a press announcement. I am not sure they
would dare send a "quality survey" if their project is 11 254 articles.
Journalists are more likely to have a great laugh :-)

Eeek! Please let article rating run
experimentally for a while! We can
wait
on telling the world when we're actually getting useful results from
it ...
I wasn't thinking of an announcement like "Wikipedia is now the greatest
thing ever, thanks to article validation!" but something more along the
tune of "Wikipedia launches article quality survey", as an invitation
for outside individuals to participate. Such a press release could
clearly point out the nature of the experiment.
