IMO, opensuse.org has too many lists, which means if someone wants to announce something that most if not all should see, in needs to be announced on all the busy lists, if not all lists. If it's not important enough for multiple lists, and not clearly specific to one list only, then announce should be the only place, not project. It's sensible, so should not need to be a published "rule", or chastised by yet another mega-thread.
Hmm, I do recall loudly complaining about the "rabbit-pellet" fragmentation of the mailing lists. It does make it difficult to know where to subscribe or where to post information. Since suddenlink.com is coming through again for me, I have subscriptions to: users announce factory kde3 packaging but on my gmail, I simply have users & kde3. Don't get me wrong, some specialization of the list is needed. factory, packaging, kde3 (and other highly specialized lists) are fine. With the traffic on announce, it might as well just go to user. To keep users informed of security and end-of-life. (would generate less traffic on users than just one of Carlos' stray posts :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
