New delayed announcements "posted on" date makes notifications useless

So now the "posted on" date for delayed announcements is when you actually create the announcement, not when it is available for viewing.

In the past, I have relied on the delayed announcement feature to send an email/push notification to students when the announcement was actually available to them (i.e., when it was "posted" as they saw it).

So the problem is this...

I've imported and/or created most of my announcements for the semester back in July/early August.  Before any students were enrolled in my fall courses, obviously.

Because the "posted on" dates for these announcements is July/early August, it seems no notifications are being sent when they become "available."  At least no notification is being sent to me (the instructor).

Is there a workaround?  Am I missing something?
