To me it makes no difference, information to noise ration of
main NG is just too bad, mark stuff [OT] or not.
I think the bigger problem is that interesting discussions just
don't happen.
Well, for me any sort of general discussion (one that doesn't
result in immediate decision of some sort) is "noise" category,
interesting or not. Key information I want to know is in the
spirit of "what is happening upstream? how will it affect my
job?". Study mail list is almost perfect in this regard - low
traffic, always related to important language changes, high
effective impact. Announce NG is okay-ish - most announcement are
irrelevant to any specific person but it is very easy to keep
track of them and filter accordingly. Main NG is more of a chance
game in that regard.
