Er! You know, there are a *lot* of Debian lists. My .procmailrc says
that I read 20 of them, and it chews up really quite a lot of time. It
is not reasonable to expect the Debian listmasters to read all the
Debian lists, and, since -user is probably the one with the highest
volume, it's quite a reasonable one for them to cut out in order to be
able to deal with their considerable workload more effectively.
You can't demand both that the listmasters read all several dozen of our
mailing lists religiously and that they deal with requests in a
plausible amount of time.
