I'm one of those that would prefer to get discussions only and not get
annoucements because each of my servers emails me when an updated
package(s) is available. I also get annoucements from various other
sources with Linux errata. So the annouce list is of no use to me,
but the discussions is.
But like Johnny said, you can't please everyone. And I just put up
with it, because that's the way it is.
