Sigh. When we have non-technical discussion on debian-devel, people
bitch and say "use another group" (thus the creation of debian-vote,
-discuss, and innumerable other groups). When we then use those groups,
people bitch because they miss the discussion. I sometimes think it's
the same people arguing both ways (not implying that Hamish is doing
this).
Screw it. I say we go back to three non-moderated, non-announce groups:
-user, -devel, and -private. And -private may NOT be used just because
it's low-volume. Learn how to deal with the volume (procmail and
threaded mail reader go a long way). Keep -announce, -devel-announce,
and -security-announce: the audiences are sufficiently disting. Get rid
of everything else.
