As this ml was created at a time there was quite a turmoil in our MLs, |
| 15 |
that its purpose was to help split technical discussions from other |
| 16 |
subjects, that by accident or design those times are mostly gone now, |
| 17 |
and that I still think there's a place and purpose for it, I want to |
| 18 |
keep it around. |

I think this should fall to the people in those projects, but if there |
| 26 |
really is no one left, then we can think about closing them. |

The fragmentation issue is raised from time to time, but as I don't see |
| 39 |
us being able to prevent people from using IRC, talking in private by |
| 40 |
email, IM or other means, I think it's mostly unavoidable. |
| 41 |
Besides, the goal of the gentoo-dev-announce list is to notify everyone |
| 42 |
about any issue that is deemed sufficiently important and to let people |
| 43 |
know where such discussion is going to take place. |
