I feel you're being unreasonably hostile. "Many discussions become aggressive, and even seemingly innocent technical decisions turn out to be quite controversial, sometimes due to old grudges. This is bad for productivity, and bad for quality." -- http://liw.iki.fi/liw/temp/dpl-platform.txt.asc Posting to -devel already brings one a certain amount of spam. Anything that reduces that will make posting to -devel more attractive and help improve communication in the project. I'm unsure whether this blacklisting is the best way to deal with the long UOL anti-spam spam problem, but I can see its reasoning. UOL users are contributors to UOL and a long-term way to make UOL change is to give their users incentives to stop. Happily, not my decision to make: don't flame me for it.
