With a few exceptions, though, nowadays most of the interesting
traffic is on xpert. The private devel list is mostly used for urgent
internal announcements (e.g. announcements of feature freezes),
interesting information that we don't want to see on slashdot (``I met
B. G. III in the lift and he told me that XFree86 sucks'') and, very
rarely, internal disagreements.
You are really not loosing much. But we do feel more comfortable with
an internal list.
