Re: Debian-devel is full of noise
The problem I see with this is that there are people that have
scripts/programs that automatically filter the incoming mail into
various folders. (I am one of them). Spontaneously subscribing
people to new groups will wreak havoc with such a setup -- probably
causing my inbox to be flooded or else causing mail to be dropped
completely. Plus, those people that want to participate in these
discussions have to subscribe to a huge number of lists.
