otoh, some of us do not want to subscribe to yet another mailing list
for ietf administrivia. but yes, it is a trade-off to fork or not to
fork when a sub-subject is hot on some list.
Given the amount of heat that this topic seems to produce, I'm not sure I would call it "administrivia"
do folk not have delete and delete-thread keys?
Of course, but I don't generally think that imposing the cost of thread management on every reader is usually a good tradeoff when we have clearly distinct subjects. After all, taken to its conclusion, one could argue we don't need separate mailing lists at all.
