There is nothing in debian-release's description to give any hint that it is "not a discussion list". Quoting http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/: "This is a focused list for coordinating all the people who are involved with making Debian releases and revisions. " That seems to imply discussion of the identity of a debian release is peculiarly *on*-topic for debian-release. Indeed, quoting further: "This list is not moderated, posting is allowed to anyone." If you really want it to have no discussion, then change the description to say so. I was considering posting to debian-release in the first place, but chose to use debian-devel in order to ensure a full audience. It's fair to tell Eduard not to CC: debian-release on account that the discussion is already taking place at debian-devel. But it's not fair to tell him not to raise it at debian-release because it's not a "discussion list", certainly not without declaring publicly that this is the case. We're not mind-readers, you know. We can't refrain from misusing a mailing list if we're not informed about the proper use of that list, especially when the "misuse" is a logical and natural use of the list. Drew
