Ask yourself: You apparently are a RH employee and already are reading many of the lists. How much effort would it take to you to communicate the essentials to the appropriate channels inside of RH, be it as formal reports, by notes/memos, or by simply forwarding some mails? It's probably not your formal task nor duty - But it could be and probably would not make much difference to you. > The > signal to noise level ratio is just too much.

I can tell you how I see it: * People expect RH to have established such communication channels internally. * Non-developers hesitate to post to devel lists because they repeatedly have been instructed not to post end-user feedback to devel lists. * RH lists require subscription. This is not feasible for "one time postings". * It's not the developers on devel lists talking the decisions on release cycles. It's RH's management. Ralf
