Hi Bertrand, In general, I would agree, but the problem is that we currently have a very large number of unreadable lists. This is what I’m generally trying to fix. Some projects responded with “If the defaults are the ways they are, they probably are for a reason … we’ll stick with the defaults” … problem is I am very sure that there never was a discussion on how these defaults should look and that they are more that way for implementation reasons and not community reasons.

That's a totally valid concern IMO, but there might be two ways to change the defaults: a) change for all lists which don't have specific settings b) change for newly created lists from now on If b) is possible I think that's much safer, and ideally projects can opt-in to switch existing lists. > ...Quite a number of projects have adopted these settings: > Like StreamPipes: > https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]:lte=4M This looks nice to me, which is unsurprising, as people know I'm a big fan of Tags Everywhere ;-) -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
