Howerver, much of the discussion spins off of the proposals and results and such so the discussion tends to remain on -vote. The only argument I can see for -vote being a discussion list is volume. There *could* be people who want to participate in the dicussions who can't handle the volume of -devel (for a variety of reasons, one that I consider valid is the cost of d/l the mail for people how pay either by the byte or by the minute). I would object to any rule that discussion *must* be on -vote, but I would also object to any rule that dicussion *must not* be on -vote. -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
