That's fair. Speaking as one of the folks involved in the change:
The IESG, in part at the behest of the community, wanted to (by default)
make sure that IESG ballots were copied to the WG mailing list instead
of being a private conversation between the authors, the chairs, and the
IESG, invisible to anyone else in the community. Seeing the ballots can
always be turned off on a case-by-case basis, but it seemed better to
have that as default instead of having to remember to turn it on on a
case-by-case basis.
Now, the mechanism used to accomplish that (adding the WG to the .notify
alias, which in turn adds it to the .all alias) sends *all*
notifications regarding a document to the WG by default. Perhaps we want
to change that.
Are there particular notifications that you *don't* want copied to the
WG? Or maybe more to the point, are there notifications that you *do*
want copied to the WG?
We'll work with the tools folks to make the right thing happen.
