My understanding is that the programs already work well together; you
just type "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" into "Mass Subscribe", hit
"Submit" and you're there. The patch changes this to "one-click," ie,
advertises the Mail Archive as part of the ordinary configuration
process. This is very different from patching the docs to explain
that the Mail Archive is an alternative / supplement to pipermail,
MHonArc, or Gmane.
>From a technical standpoint, I'm all for it (subject to the "defaults
to OFF" policy). Archiving is a sore point with all the MLMs; giving
admins another easy-to-install option is a plus. But from a support
and PR standpoint, I think it does constitute an endorsement.
