While I'm not a contributor to these lists, I do follow them

other projects move away from mailing lists, and that now means

I have to make a concious effort to 'poll' their system, rather

than having a push notification.  Needless to say, I don't follow

them any more, and I don't know what's happening there.

Push means I find out whenever something happens.

If nothing happens... then that's OK with me, I'm not bothered.

But to be constantly polling for 'is there anything new... is there anything new'

(whether there is or not), is just plain inefficient.

I hope that doesn't happen to Fedora too.

[Just my 2 cents worth.]

Again, especially for a user of gmail, there is mailing list mode.  People keep saying it isn't sufficient or it

doesn't work.  I've been using it for 3 days and looks and acts like a normal mailing list.
