This recent deluge of policy issues has made me wish for a new
list, "policy".  I try to read -hacker in moderately real time in
case a fellow -hacker is in trouble.  The discussion of digesting
the lists is disconcerting.  I bet 80% of this list is not "Technical
discussions and suggestions".

I've been guilty of this in the past, and am being guilty of it right
now.

Yes, I thread the articles and skip the ones I don't want, but I'm
afraid I might miss something that got sent with the wrong subject.

If we had a policy list for non-hacker related stuff, then I could
read it at my leisure or unsubscribe (which I probably wouldn't do
but some people might).  It is hard enough to try to keep up with
-hackers, -current, and -commit, which is the minimum for trying
to technically help out and develop at the edge.
