It's not a joke. This list was not created for discussions on how to avoid
FSCK problems on servers that run all the time, debian-isp was created for
that sort of thing.
When an existing list doesn't fill a need then the best thing to do is to
create a new list. If you get a debian-security-de list as I suggest then
you can discuss things in German too, which should be a double benefit.
