I don't, however, think that the experiment of addressing this problem by sending jira traffic to the devel list has succeeded. > If we were to make a new general discussion list (replacing users@ and > adding ddeelopment discussion) then discuss@ seems reasonable to me, but I > think the other things are served equally well by whats already here now.
