Well, lugnet.bulid.announce would be more appropriate in that case.
No need to create a new top-level hierarchy.
Do the brickshelf and LSAHS subgroups bother you in the web interface?
Probably not, but only because of their volume of traffic.
I think most people have become accustomed to seeing MOC announcements
in .announce, so there's no reason why they would object to having the
.announce.moc or .announce.build group used for them now. People like
yourself who would rather not see them can view it plain (without
subgroups).
