Hi Rob, I thought that privacy-related scrubs of mailing list archives had been halted, given (1) the many problems that they have caused in the past and (2) that once info is sent to a public list it is likely to be archived publicly in places outside of WMF control and therefore the usefulness of these wipes is doubtful.
James, you and I have discussed this issue previously. Can you please comment?
