As far as I know, it wasn't an announcement, it was sending up a trial
balloon amongst a known group who was likely to critique it honestly but
fairly, before taking it public. Strikes me that happens all the time, and
doesn't necessarily have to involve foundation-related lists but could be
any group of people.

project announcements.
In any case, I try to avoid closed-source
technology wherever I can.
