OTOH, i have little interest in staying on top of the constant stream of fedora test *updates*, but i'm being force-fed that information anyway. so what's the problem with a new ML with that particular mandate? > to make sure those on the test discussion list were aware of the > test updates that are being pushed out... except that there are some of us who aren't interested in that information. > the noise of the announcements is not drowning the list by any > means, ... um ... have you counted the number of recent posts related to package test updates? in fact, that is *all* that is being posted on this list. how precisely does that *not* constitute "drowning the list"? > and if people aren't aware that packages are being pushed to test > then less testing will occur. once again, that's not my problem. if you want to test packages, feel free. i don't, so i don't want to hear about them. why is that such a difficult concept to grok? > Is another list really necessary? yes. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
