I agree here. Similary to Rafael I would also like to receive sci-math bugspam but not sci-*. I also don't see any good pros of joining the herds except some abstract "simplification". You can still subscribe to all of the sci-? aliases if you are working on everything. So what was the point of joining the herds in the first place? > For those of us interested in all science packages, we could simply put > sci as alias of all sci sub herds, or even create QA sci. I like the first idea, but I also want to be able to use "sci" as a herd, e.g. for scientific libraries that might be used across disciplines.
