No. In a working freenet network, "propagation" should not matter. And
recently, at least here, a few retries will get just about anything,
inserted by one node, from a totally unconnected node, as long as it was
inserted at a high enough HTL. If a mailing list is necessary, we should
make a new mailing list, not abuse devl or support for it.
