SV: [Announcement] Altova Customers: Upgrade to Stylus

I just wonder: Is this list a market place?

Even if the posting guidelines says 
"There is no restriction on what may be posted to the XSL-List provided it
is related to XSL",
such commercial announcements from a specific vendor are - in my opinion -
misplaced! Especially when the target group is the customers of their
competitor.
