I couldn't agree more, which is one reason (among others) why I dislike
the tendency towards Discourse and similar tools. Discussion threads on
Discourse actually expire after a certain time, IIRC 14 days by
default, yet Gnome is actively promoting this and has shut down many of
its support lists on gnome.org as a result. We had to move the
Evolution list elsewhere to keep it going.
