Hmmm.   I expressed myself clumsily it seems.

Can I point you to the word "optionally" above.  I was asking if there
was any system where one could:

1. Without financial cost

2. Register as a user of GNOME.  (Stand and be counted.)

3. And then choose to be kept up-to-date or not.

Subscribing to an email list accomplishes (3) and (1) but does not imply
(2).  Joining Friends of GNOME accomplishes (2) but not (1).  I am
unaware of the implication on (3) of joining FoG.
