I'm not (yet) convinced that getting rid of 10% of ML messages (the ones that would go to the -business lists) is worth the hassle of setting up 50 new lists, have people subscribe to them, and have overworked PTL moderate them... Also from my experience moderating such a -business list (the openstack-tc list) I can say that it takes significant effort to avoid having general-interest discussions there (or to close them when they start from an innocent thread). Over those 50+ -business mailing-lists I'm pretty sure a few would diverge and use the convenience of isolated discussions without "outsiders" potentially chiming in. And they would be pretty hard to detect... -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
