I don't understand the current rationale for a single CentOS users'

I'm speaking from my own perspective, but I'm sure others have
similar stories. How many users use all CentOS releases?
I totally agree John - as CentOS gets more popular i too have found
myself using 'Mark folder as Read' too often.
This is a good thing. I've just left the Fedora Core mailing lists
(users & devel) and the traffic didn't bother me at all. It's a great
Not everyone can have such a fine Internet connexion.
Splitting by version is usually a bad idea. It causes things to split,
people post the wrong version information to the wrong lists and it
becomes a PITA. Hell, I've noticed enough people whinge and moan about
top posting... Imagine that on someone posting a v5 question to a v4 list!
I thought it worked very well indeed with Red Hat Linux. I note that Red
Hat continues with that plan with RHEL.
A point that may mitigate the need to act now: I have seen the volume
of mail surge about t-2_months before the launch of v5 - and i wasnt
here for the launch of 4.0 -> 4.4, but would you not expect a lot of
noise to dissipate soon now we are t+2_weeks?
This depends on your definition of noise. As long as the posts are
CentOS related, I wouldn't care if there was 100 or 1000 posts per day.
1000 posts/day would certainly see me out. You're an obvious candidate
to remain on all lists. I'm battling with my modem's load right now, I'm
looking to cull what's less important.
