What's noise to you is signal to others. For example, my interest is |
8 |
servers, so all of your X.org posts are mostly noise to me, but to |
9 |
others it's essential signal. Same goes for the scientific re-org |
10 |
recently discussed. And I'm sure the same goes for PHP & webapp |
11 |
stuff. |

I think a -dev-announce ML is a good idea, with reply-to set to -dev. |

But I also think you're over-exaggerating the situation by a long way, |

sorry. |
