I would like to add that participation in the filesystem standard mailing list is not closed.
Information on how to subscribe is located in all releases and "private" drafts of the FSSTND and upcoming FHS. There are also some requests to new subscribers (such as "run new ideas past someone so we don't repeat old debates too often") also listed. Thanks. By the way, the new Debian release is great although I'm hoping the next one will support the NCR 53c810 out of the box. Dan
