We often have people complaining that things aren't announced visibly enough. Therefore, obviously, we need a central place to do so. For the really important things (like the election), Recent Changes is perfect for that, because most Wikipedians look at it regularly, and then those that don't can't complain they weren't informed ;-)
Actually I seldom have time to look at RC on the English Wikipedia anymore since it takes me an hour or two every day just to go through my watchlist and 'Related changes' from my user page. Having [[Wikipedia:Recentchanges]] displayed at the top of all watchlists and maybe at the top of all related changes pages would help matters.
