Personally I don't see any reason not to put important messages in all the groups (heck, if they are sent as one mail to all the groups, intelligent mailers can even detect they have already seen that message-id and only show it to you once). The key would be the definition of "important" :-). I can't count the number of delays I have commuting to work because someone who has the power to do so thinks some message is important enough to put up on the big message boards on I-95, so everyone slows down to read stuff like "there will be construction on the turnpike this weekend", but I'm not on the turnpike, I'm on I-95, and it isn't the weekend yet anyway :-). Just glancing at the fedora-announce archives, I'd classify 90% of the messages I see as "unimportant", so I really don't want to subscribe to it. Personally I'd call only two things important: outages of servers everyone uses (bugzilla, wiki, repos), or compromised security on those same servers (which propably leads to an outage anyway). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
