While swanky it really does nothing new but takes away accessibility since there will be a gazillion email notifications which in and of themselves are useless. With a mailing list I can just reply directly instead of having to switch to a different interface. This just adds a step and forces me to use a particular client. I realized now that this mail sounds really negative. To add nuance: great suggestion and I'm all for changing things if the new things solves the problem better than the old things. Discourse however, doesn't seem to do that. > > >_______________________________________________ >devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html >List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines >List Archives: >https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
