Too low? Maybe. There may come a point when people unsubscribe, at which point we lose the value of using the list. But I honestly have no idea what the traffic rate that would drive off a non-trivial number of people. We've traditionally been very conservative in this regard, and I'm willing to believe that we're far too conservative. But I don't want us to take the brakes off entirely. I think we should come up with some intentional guidelines, if for no other reason than to indicate to the community that "yes, your message qualifies". -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
