The thing is that though i'm fairly confident that though the
xorg@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list is very interesting for ppl
that have problems building xorg and for all other kinds of information
it gives me an overload on information that i simply not need and imho
there're a lot of ppl (mainly distro maintainers prolly) that just
want to know when they should update certain packages without knowing
all problems associated with x and y... I mean, i'm subscribed 1 day to
this list and i've receive 50 messages already... i could of course
start deleting all of them with an automatic filter but next thing that
will happen is that someone forgets the [ANNOUNCE] flag and i missed a
release... (which could even be a securitty related release)
