I completely disagree with this view.
I don't see why the ASF *has* to support water-cooler conversations. It just doesn't coincide with our mission. Other people and sites can run them individually outside of the ASF - I've no problem with that *at all*.
IMHO, the ASF infrastructure should be reserved for, well, ASF projects. Not whatever three people feel like talking about at any given moment. It's just not our place to support the whims of a few without the necessary oversight.
I'm also peeved by the response of 'create a new mailing list' to almost any problem. It's terribly uncreative and places a *lot* of burden on those who are stuck running the infrastructure.
And, no this isn't directed at any one individual. It's just indicative of the attitude of folks that shouldn't be perpetuated further. -- justin
