This isn't "maillist" who unable to support users - it's subscribers of |
14 |
this maillist unable to support users. This list has very low traffic, |
15 |
and splitting it into two maillists make then even less traffic each. |

Usual way to kick :) "physicians and math-specialists" into hardened-dev |
18 |
is increase traffic in this maillist with huge amount of user-support |
19 |
messages... Try to ask your "simple" questions and look is somebody will |
20 |
answer. If nobody will answer - then why you think these people WILL |
21 |
answer if maillist will be renamed to hardened-users? :) |

Anyway, I don't share your view both about "is not able to support users" |
24 |
and "physicians and math-specialists". Everything written above is just |
25 |
attempt to reply from your point of view. |

There some professional developers experienced in security in this maillist... |
28 |
and they are only people who __able__ to answer to most of questions |
29 |
(so kick'ing them into different maillist isn't good idea for users anyway). :) |
30 |
And they usually answer to all questions, so users usually can *get help* |
31 |
(of course, if you wanna use Hardened then you must first read everything |
32 |
about it on gentoo website and gentoo wiki... sorry, but this is only way to |
33 |
use Linux - read docs, then read them again). |
