This is a pet peeve of mine. Freebsd-stable is supposed to be the mailing list that is required reading for anyone tracking stable, where all useful information related to tracking stable is to be found. However, the list is increasingly such a high-volume, low signal-to-noise-ratio chatfest that it no longer serves its intended purpose for even moderately busy people. A prohibitive amount of time is required to sort out what is relevant from what isn't. Would it be possible to create a freebsd-stable-announce list whose sole and exclusive content is informative, authoritative messages related to the proper downloading, installation, configuration and running of freebsd-stable? -Michael Robinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
