Lots of corporate firewalls disallow NNTP access, so we would be disenfranchising people. As to the actual management overhead, my impression (watching from the sidelines) is that its about a push in terms of effort. However, for folks who prefer an NNTP interface, sites like gmane.org offer two-way mail<->newsgroup linkages for lots of Apache mailing lists. And I'm sure they would add the MyFaces lists if needed (but I'll bet they are already there). > > - Brendan Craig
