His use of the words 'professional' and 'spam' was a direct insult, I gave it the least offensive interpretation I could think of.
The fact remains that the individual ws components cannot stand on their own as ASF projects. So they have to work together. That include reading a certain amount of email about the overall infrastructure. If I am wrong, and XML-RPC can muster it's own viable community of active contributors, I will be happy to vote +1 for a tlp with its own mailing lists. as of now, however , the board's direction is to eliminate subprojects. I am perfectly prepared to read any amount of XML-RPC email and vote as needed for its releases, and I expect XML-RPC people to do the same for axiom, xmlschema, and the rest. web sites are a required part of the job of a pmc. if you want to read the dev list of a pmc, you are going to see email on that subject unless you set up some filters. I am sorry to be harsh, but I won't accept being labelled a spammer for doing the necessary work of this pmc.
