A filter plus subscriber restrictions largely satisfy this, as is evidenced by the zero spam level on devel@xxxxxxxxxxxx For the subscriber restriction to work for a list like this one also requires an active moderator, and that is a waste of time, IMO. >Another possibly more unpleasant topic: >It seems that a few of the better known distributions switched from XFree86 to X. What effect will >this have on XFree86 in general and in this list in particular? This is a very old topic. XFree86 has made two annual releases since then, and the next annual release, 4.6.0, will appear in early 2006. This list has continued since then also. XFree86's existence does not depend on distributions, but on the individuals that continue to contribute to its development. >I was not quite clear as to the reason is it licensing? The move to switch pre-dates the licensing changes, in spite of a popular history rewrite to the contrary.
