Not very good. Since you _must_ subscribe to and
monitor yet another list, even if you just want to be
informed about the changes, just like before.
What is the problem with my proposal?
You are creating a feed to the mail system that there is no way to opt
out of, thus giving regular subscribers no way to reduce their mail
burden. Sure you can filter i away, but only after you have downloaded
it. And it's going to have a size limit of 150k. That's a lot of
downloading just to throw it away.
What I am proposing is an opt in system. You only have to join it once,
it lasts indefinitely. You create a filter to put it in the correct
mailbox, that lasts indefinitely. This is a very minor burden to give
choice to others before the mail download instead of after the mail
download.
Your method reduces choice and increases mail burden. People with modems
do care about this stuff. I believe in efficiency whenever I can get it.
Choice is good when it's not excessive and burdensome, which this is
not. Subscribe once, add one rule and you get exactly what you want.
