Well put, but I reckon a lot of us would be happier if you (and Abou)
used the term 'users', rather than 'customers'. I know I think that
being a customer involves payment.

Anyway, to the point. Yes, please kill 'general' or at least its
reflection to debian-devel. It has seemed to me to be a tiresome
anacronism for a very long time. I have always assumed that it was
some very old BTS feature from when this was a much younger and
smaller project, that no-one could be bothered to tidy up.

I just ignore those mails now, after many years of noting that they
are largely useless bug reports barely worthy of the name, that
usually get promtly closed. Seems like a waste of everyone's time to
me.

Wookey
