Am I understanding you correctly in that the wnpp mails are a prime reason for you reading -devel? (Let's leave aside that it's easy enough to filter out the mails based on headers for now.) | In general, I suspect the above is true and it would reduce the | number of people reading the wnpp mails. What proportion of devel | is wnpp email? How frequently are they given as a reason by people | who don't read devel? About 1554 out of 8380 mails so far this year, so slightly less than 20% of the mails are ITPs or follow-ups to ITPs. As for the last question, I have no idea. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
