(I do not intend to single out your post, just replying to the thread in general here) I would like to ask people to stay respectful in their disagreement towards the Council and their decision here. You might not agree with the decision, but the Council is an elected body and was given these powers by the developer community which they represent. Also I have no doubt that Council members who voted for -dev moderation are aware of the counter arguments and honestly expect a net positive effect from this. If you dislike mailing list moderation, campaign and/or vote in the next period for candidates who want to reverse this decision. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
