I think a bit of social interaction does have the tendency to create 'community' which is Debian's strength, so it could be viewed as productive. What I have seen, with the clearly marked OT threads is the ability to ignore/delete them as I do when I look through and delete any other threads that I am not currently interested in or can't help with. The 'noise' on this list is nothing to what I have seen in the past. One, I remember, over communist mainland China and Taiwan that resulted, very regretfully, in a kernel developer leaving.
