I want to walk this one back a bit as there's no need to destroy the
community that exists here already by forcing it to move elsewhere.
What I meant to say is that I think it'd be best if debian-user
continue to exist as it is while having its support element covered
by some other thing, and that be consistently documented throughout
Debian's documentation and websites wherever debian-user currently
is pointed to.
As mentioned, ideally I would see that support function served by a
Stack Overflow-like web site as I think those are easier to keep
focused for question-answer purposes. However if a mailing list
absolutely had to be used then it should be understood that posts
not related to Debian would not be welcome, and for that to be
enforced.
Thanks,
Andy
