I'm not aware of other threads. As I do not detect what you consider offtopic or excessive chat here, I ask a *kind* request on every such thread. Usually Patrick does that.
yet the "Thread" continues and is still off-topic here.
if *you* want to complain about people following up on this thread here, why don't you re-direct them using the usual ways to other media? One way would be to *not* post to the same list... To be honest, *iff* you/other board members believe, we need a pure, development only list, then *create one*! _factory_ doesn't imply to me (and I'm not a new member by any stretch!), this is only dealing with really new stuff, i.e. development. Factory to me means, this is the facility to deal with any issues with my installation (which is my factory). Sorry, but appr. 50% of this thread is mostly dealing with complaints about messages which don't belong here. If the board believes decisions about "ntpd is too old" vs. "chrony is new enough" (because bug reports still come in), then OK, please blame me and potentially black-list me, but I'm really over it now (TM).
