There could be a split whereby user-support for the test release is here and the machine-generated emails and QA organisational threads remain on the test list. If we could accept that some people ask for help about a test release here without pointing them to the etst list, I wouldn't care about a change similar ot the one that I've just enunciated. My comment to unify the lists was more of a throwaway comment out of frustration than a serious proposal. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
