--- Comment #23 from Darxus <[email protected]> 2011-12-05 21:26:53 UTC --- (In reply to comment #22) > Again, I believe there was consensus about generally adding new DNSBLs with > major/minor version updates only, *and* clearly communicating this in the > new DNSBLs. Maybe you just trust my memory on that? I don't. I don't think you're lying, I just don't see a reason to assume you remember it as I would interpret it. > Hey, I welcome anyone to step up and tell me consensus has been otherwise. >From what I saw, consensus just said that people shouldn't add a bunch of new DNSBLs to masscheck without discussing it. And there was no consensus that new DNSBLs could only be added on major/minor releases. > What's unsubstantiated is your claim that I and my quote would have been the > reason for not yet including Mailspike. There are NO votes by PMC members or > committers. That's what matters and changes the game, not a single post on a > mailing list. Kevin's comment 7 should count as a +1. And I worry that others aren't voting because they believe there was previous consensus to only add DNSBLs at releases, which I question. > While you "don't think anybody will mind the increased network load", I do > know > it for a fact. Yes, there *are* systems out there, heavily tweaked for > throughput with assorted DNSBLs, plugins and rules disabled. Good. Are there any of those people who don't read dev@, users@, announce@, or proofread sa-updates before applying them? Do any of these systems you know of stand any actual risk of inadvertently adding the MSPIKE rules via sa-update? Would any of them be any more than slightly inconvenienced for a day? > Thus the need for clearly communicating any such changes. I agree with that. I think being unwilling to make the change to existing releases takes it too far. > > Somewhat related, spamassassin needs an announcement list, for announcing > > changes like this, and releases. (bug 6714) > > Oh, yeah, *that* was a fun bug. Yeah, sorry. So posting to announce@ should be ample communication, right? -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
