My own opinion is that we've done this backwards, and that everything on -private modulo vacation messages and posts explicitely marked with a header indicating that they shouldn't be declassified should be declassified automatically after three years. Unfortunatly, a large majority[1] of the messages to -private shouldn't be private in the first place, or they only need to be embargoed for a short period of time. [I think I've sent more messages to people requesting that they not continue non-private (or just plain useless) threads in -private than I've read messages which were actually useful and contained information that needed to be on -private.] Don Armstrong 1: Ignoring VAC messages, of course. -- Never underestimate the power of human stupidity. -- Robert Heinlein http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
