hi *!
this unfortunate announcement from nedko seems to have spawned a
discussion on LAA. LAA list policy used to be no follow-ups except for
factual corrections. the idea was to keep the traffic low for people who
want to stay informed but not have to wade through too much mail. (think
lwn.net among others.)
can i suggest that all further contributions to this LAA thread be NAKed
by the moderator, please? the discussion is certainly important, but it
should continue on LAD or LAU.
Already happened, for the record.
that said, while i can understand nedko's POV, the
initial message never
really belonged on LAA either. obviously, such announcements _will_
cause heated discussion, so they should be made in a forum which allows
them.
Indeed, the cut off point now is... less than ideal. Now the announce
list has a hanging question about what the technological problem was
with LV2 that caused this... but there isn't one. Yay FUD. Sigh.
An exquisitely terrible job on the part of all parties concerned. Keep
up the good work, Internet comrades!
