Whatever keeps Luca and all other NetCAT people inspired and on board is what we should do.
I frankly don’t understand what the problem is that we’re trying to fix here. If we’re saying that we’re not able to communicate with the whole community because we have NetCAT separated from dev, then we should use the same argument consistently and merge the users mailing list into dev as well and I’m sure no one is suggesting that. :-) Apache NetBeans has a community of users, developers, and testers. That's a value add, if anything.
