I received none. > What sort of signs would you find reassuring? I'm a member of -hackers. I've probably sent two emails to the list in the four or so years that I've been a member. Nevertheless, I think it's useful to have around. For one thing, the traffic is so low that I actually *read* the emails on it, whereas I often miss emails to -devel unless someone CCs me. I don't have any particularly strong opinions about what the list policies should be, but I am in favor of keeping it. Cheers, Joe
