  Hello,

  Is there anyone who, who would not subscribe the new
-bug(-harvesting) mailing list, is really annoyed by those messages
and wants to split the list?

  So far I've seen posts on this from the guys who I think are going
to subscribe the -bug mailing list (Probably except Richard), so I'm
kind of wondering whose benefit and cost we're talking about.

  The reason I'm writing this is I'm against for creating the new
list.  I like to see the harvested changeset names (though I don't
take a look at the actual content of them most of the time), so
probably am going to subscribe the new list.  In the other words,
splitting the list doesn't have any benefit for me.

  For new comers, how do we explain the difference of those lists?  Do
we encourage them to read both or discourage to read the -bug at the
beginning?  In either way, I *feel* it awkward.

  I would suggest that a batch/summary post instead of indivisual
posts, but not change stuff too much.
