so we now have two offtopic lists, one designated and one utilized for whatever seems to be in anyone's mind atm which is sometimes used for requesting support, and a designatedsupport list which is sometimes utilized and factory which is still voilated.
I tend to disagree ;-) Some years ago, I was subscribed to opensuse-offtopic@ for maybe a week, and trust me, it was *really* off-topic. (No idea what's going on there nowadays, feel free to subscribe and find out.) OTOH, most mails in opensuse@ are related to openSUSE and not OT. Nevertheless, the opensuse@ list is a bit special - my impression is that most discussions there end up with > 20 replies. While this isn't wrong or bad, it can easily scare a newbie asking for support ;-) That's why I agreed with creating opensuse-support@, and like Simon, see it as least worst solution. Those who ask for support there usually get it with a small number of replies, and that's exactly what I expect from a support list. Question. Answer. Done. This doesn't mean that we have to ban support questions from opensuse@, and the people asking there are probably aware that the opensuse@ way is "Question. Many answers." ;-)
