Actually, gentoo-dev-announce is completely appropriate for things |
| 12 |
like Council meeting agenda notices (where discussion goes on |
| 13 |
-project), or elections, and so on. Not all of it is purely |
| 14 |
development-related. |

Lastrites were on -dev previously I believe. |

Many years ago over-use of -core was one of our larger hot-button |
| 29 |
topics, and a lot of effort was made to move this sort of traffic |
| 30 |
elsewhere. A lot of it pre-dates my time on the Council. I don't |
| 31 |
personally have archives of what was on -core prior to becoming a dev, |
| 32 |
but there had been plenty of discussion around it in general and of |
| 33 |
course correct mailing list topics was a subject for new dev quizzes |
| 34 |
and such way back then as well. Gentoo tends to have flares of drama |
| 35 |
every couple of years and there had been a bit of a changing of the |
| 36 |
guard right before I became a dev, though I was fairly involved well |
| 37 |
before then as an AT and general user (think Duncan, who goes back |
| 38 |
probably about as far, perhaps further). |

As with today a lot gets said in private that doesn't make it onto the |
| 41 |
lists, so list archives only really tell part of the story, though |
| 42 |
again as with today you can read a lot of it between the lines. |
