I agree on almost every word. I have well sorted and with love configured
mail, where I track several Libre projects. Now it is interesting to track
rust questions. But dropping maillist most probably means I will not
participate any more.
I could add, as example, I have very limited Internet connection on
cristmass trip now so the mail on my mobile is the only reliable way to
track what is happening. Think about this reason too.

I have no desire to use Discourse, and nearly certainly won't sign up for
it (I don't even understand why it came to be). I have never used Rust
discourse besides happening once upon it and reading the linked thread.
My membership in mailing lists is neatly sorted and segregated, easily
readable on my mobile devices without extra signing up or poking at badly
designed websites. Discourse gives me zero advantage for yet *another*
website signup, and probably with less usability, given my experience of
web site development design. It's worth noting that every single libre
software project I have any interest in (from the arcane to the popular)
maintains the mailing list as the primary official channel of communiques.
If the Rust admins kill the mailing list, I will probably drop out of
participation (what a loss. ;) ) and limit participation to lurking
reddit's /r/rust (I don't contribute thoughtful stuff to reddit in part due
to the fact that mobile website = awful, readers = ehhh and occasional
IRC questions.
I am sure I sound like a crabby crank, but, meh.

The mailing list is mostly dead BTW. Consider bringing this up on
discuss.rust-lang.org instead.
This is the first time I've heard of that. I checked that it isn't
even linked on the homepage, but the mailing list and IRC are.
Have I missed something, or should the discourse then be linked
instead of or at least in addition of the mailing list?
