True enough. However, how many "normal users" would you expect
to be subscribing to the freebsd-current mailing list? If this is a
current versus stable versus release issue, I think we can all agree
that most users are clueless enough that they can't even figure out
how to send e-mail to the freebsd-questions mailing list, much less
anything else.
So, you are either forced to change your definition of "normal
users" to be people who would be subscribing to this list (and
hopefully contributing in some way) and you have to acknowledge that
change in definition, or you have to change the term that you use.
