I can't help noticing that all your references are from a minimum of six years ago, which is, well, quite a long time. Ever since I've joined, which is ohgod nearly five years ago now, the split has seemed reasonably clear and non-controversial, and I really can't recall anyone being particularly confused about it, so perhaps this is a problem which is still current in your mind but obsolete in cold unfeeling reality? :) I think we wind up with more posts that we think would be appropriate for users@ than devel@. To me, at least, test@ has a very clear and specific purpose which is quite different from devel@, and I'd fight with tooth and claw any proposal to 'merge' them. Merging them would be a flat-out disaster for QA work: we have a different atmosphere and much lower traffic on test@, if all our useful and productive QA mails got drowned in the devel@ noise it would have a significant negative impact on our ability to do useful stuff. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
