Okay, you took the bait. That was an idea for finding out what you
would say to other reorganisation of the lists. The problem with
fedora-test-list is that it is supposed to be for "testers of
fedora development releases" which is different from "test updates for
stable releases". Test updates are relevant to users of stable releases,
but those users don't like to read all the other traffic. And the list
is a source of many off-topic threads and cross-posts (to -devel *and*
-test).
Testing is testing whether it be full blown chance taking or the
moderate and less chance of error testing packages.
Maybe rawhide issues can be discussed on the development list and only
testing issues generated on fedora test list. I have benefited by both
issues being discussed on the -test list. (Recovery from X errors, lib
problems, kernel and SELinux errors, t name a few issue)

PS - I liked Les' fedora-FEMA list idea.
Speaking of testing, I wonder if it would be feasible for an independent
site to automate a rebuild of the whole system from the src rpms to
verify that they always generate the exact binaries being distributed
and also provide a publicly-viewable set of diffs against both
independently-obtained upstream sources and version-to-version updates.
