Hello Racketeers,
I wouldn't take it as passive-aggressive per-se. It's just super
confusing. Especially if you watch the discussion about future of Racket
at RacketCon where Matthias has stated it pretty clearly and other
confirmed that - the core team is doing all infrastructure maintenance
more-or-less in their free time because their primary focus is
development (of various parts of Racket ecosystem).
I am trying to use Discourse like ML and although it's got some really
rough edges, it kinda works. If the new topic creation via mail gets
resolved, it will be basically OK for me. My impression is that some of
its features could be called "NNTP-like" and yes, I would really like to
see NNTP interface (and then importing all those years of MLs into the
archives would make much more sense then).
But as others have pointed out, maintaining infrastructure such as this
requires non-negligible amount of work! So please take this as my
personal opinion and not as an - even the slightest - attempt of
demanding anything! I run some infrastructure and I know it needs time
(all the time).
And thanks to John and Stephen for taking care of the Discourse instance!
Cheers,
Dominik

This is by far the strangest message I've ever read about Racket. It
comes a close second to that all-caps spam we get constantly on the
mailing list! I'd pay good money to know what's written between the
lines. It sounds like really, really passive-aggressive.
