as has been poiinted out by others, i don't think this is a
particularly good time to raise the issue. not only do i think the
same results will obtain, but i think even having it on the table is
going to piss some people off who are eminently tired of the topic. i
suggest at least waiting until mid april. people have already
established their opinions and positions on the matter.
*however*.. if you want to change this to a proposal that we create a
*new* opt-in list with no restrictions on subscription, i think that
is a different matter. not only would it seem to satisfy both camps,
but i suspect the discussion energy for it would not be as stale.

{sigh} if you're going to talk about opening community@, please *drop*
this bogus comparison. community@ is opt-in -- which means that only
those people who are interested get deluged with the periodic denial
of service. committers@ is *mandatory*: if you're an apache
committer, you *cannot* escape being on the committers list. ergo, it
is not for discussions.

won't you consider being nice and doing that anyway? or is this the
only price you'll accept? <grin size="huge"/> <laugh/>
