Thanks for the POLA violation. I think this will cause far fewer
problems than making every subscriber update manually and I'm not even
sure it is a violation. I'd find not getting src commit messages very
astonishing!
Anyone who read cvs-src should really be able to handle this change
without all that much upset.
What the fuck?!
I've had cvs-src@ set to nomail, could write but msgs were not delivered.
I've read them via Gmane, my NNTP newsreader offers very flexible way to
filter them. Now, mail lists are switched WITHOUT 'nomail', and my local
hard drive is being spammed, instead of NNTP (and freebsd.org also wastes
resources fot that, eh?). And worse, I just CAN'T disable it again: when I
trying to login to http://lists.freebsd.org for svn-src-all@, it simply
says about authorization error!
Moreover, this change is pain in the ass for all users who don't care
about SVN switch - while CVSUP/CSUP is in use, it is not-so-worth to care.
And it is now more difficult to manage for those who were used to cvs-all@
- a bunch of lists instead of one. Mailman DOESN'T give me interface to
manage all my subscriptions at once - I must go and login for every one!
I've heard several complains about this spamming change on local IRC
channels.
Breaking POLA is bad.
