Wait a minute! You cannot just use "if it ain't broken, don't fix it."
like this. This is a brand new addition to the mailing list and
consequently not exactly proved useful (yet) and not entirely
unanimously welcomed.

Moreover, it seems to me that you have misunderstood what Bert has
suggested. There would be a mailing list with complete commit reports
and Squeak dev would receive digests. The digests will point out to
the complete commit reports for anyone who wants more information.

It does NOT prevent you to comment full reports at any moment (those
emails could even have a reply address on squeak dev) and it does NOT
force everybody to receive several reports that may or may not be
interesting.

Ian.
