A long campaigning period still does not result in perfect
information. Given that I have to make a decision in the face of
incomplete information, the possibility of getting relevant
information ought not to be dismissed.
After all, I can still catch up on any thread in -vote -- most
MUA's allow you to kill whole swaths of emails very simply. If you
are comfortable with the level of information you already possess, no
one is asking you to read though everything.
Saying that is you are satisfied with the information, and
need know no more, should mean that no one else get any more
information, whether or not they feel they have enough, is, at best,
a dog-in-the-manger attitude.
debian-vote is not a required mailing list for anyone.
