Exactly. More stuff you don't care about is more noise. I agree with that too. Rather than reading 50 posts about X crap, wouldn't you rather just look at a single announcement? >> I propose that all need-to-know announcements and decisions be posted to >> a separate, moderated (or restricted posting) gentoo-dev-announce list >> to ensure that no developers lose track of what really matters. > > I think a -dev-announce ML is a good idea, with reply-to set to -dev. > But I also think you're over-exaggerating the situation by a long way, > sorry. I'm glad you have your opinion. I don't have the time to sit and browse through all the arguments between 2-3 people that go on for 50-100 posts or more as they fall more and more off-topic, so I would like to know if there's any conclusion without wasting my time on that. My options are either missing important announcements or creating this list. I would prefer the list. Thanks, Donnie
