Windows security advisories are surely important to quite a few
people, and probably to more readers of -devel-announce than Ubuntu
stuff. Are you saying that it would be okay to post these? If not,
then you need to rethink your reasoning here. Personally, I don't
think "important to the subscribers" is the correct measure.

I considered editing this out, but I'm quoting it instead because it's
a neat bit of libel[0] in an attempt to change the subject. This is
not about Ubuntu at all - it could have been *anybody*'s press release
being reposted. This is about appropriate use of Debian mailing lists.
[0] I don't know who made this shit up, but as far as I'm aware it's
purely fictional. We're objecting to Ubuntu's *PR*, and they're
complaining that we're trying to stop collaberation? WTF?
