I'd like to make the PCFS OpenSolaris project live, but need to specify a
mailing list for it. And yes, my idea is to "abuse" ufs-discuss for the
purpose, because:
- People have already started asking PCFS questions here
- I'm a big opponent of the "one list per project" clutter
- I want to freelance on the ufs community :)
Is anyone here _not_ ok with that idea ?
Yes, me.
I'm not that happy with this proposal, for 2 obvious
reasons:
- UFS <-> PCFS
- the PCFS project really focuses around a re-write and
enhancement of the current PCFS driver, thus it deserves
it's own project and project alias rather then being squeezed
into this UFS focused list.
there is precedence already for not doing so, the NFSv4.1 project that
is seperate from NFS as the ZFS crypto project list is as well.
Strongly disagree with the idea "one project one mailing list".
I think it'd be rather better to invent a generic file system releated
discussion list instead ? e.g. the FreeBSD folks do have just
1 freebsd-fs list to discuss UFS, UDF, FAT, HSFS and so forth.
that would also open a forum for generic VFS/VNODE layer infrastructure
questions/discussions.
The reason why I don't want to do this _now_ is here:

I _hate_ processes and procedures that make life difficult.
Such as:
- how do I create a "generic" mailing list without requiring
* a project
* a community
