Hi,

does it true every CentOS mailing list subscriber gets a digests from CentOS-announce mailing list?

Yes. The single announcements are posted to the announce-list only, the
digests are posted to the centos list also. There's been a big
discussion about that last year(?), IIRC.

Yeah, but my vote to do it this way has become wrong. And it was originally set this way nearly two years ago.. after a very lengthy barrage of discussion. In the meantime, much has grown within the CentOS community. There are now at least two more distros for different systems along with 4.X being added... So that gives us 2.X, 3.X and 4.X in the 4? various flavors. This can occasionally be 12 announcements for one update... when 5 hits, 16. If I had my vote to do over, I'd vote for an announce list for each distro and each system. And to rehash yet again another thing... the subject line is so long that I need to expand by mailreader to 1250 or so wide before I can read what the announcement actually regards as in system and CentOS version....

I'd vote for pure announce lists at this point... but, I'm so totally in awe of all the work the CentOS team does which is of such huge benefit to me, that I really hate to even say anything about this... But it is time for me to start doing some filtering. Arghhh!

And I promise to not say anything again, at least until 6 comes out. ;)

Best,
John Hinton
