People that don't get that likely don't keep BIND updated anyway. ;-) I'm not too passionate either way...currently getting ~6 (one per version, per list) announces each time a new version comes out is something I've been dealing with for years. However, a question to ask might be how other OSS projects do it. People used to managing OSS will generally be on several lists with -chat, -users, -announce, etc. POLA. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
