Forgive me if I'm ignorant of any formal process for polls, but I'm conscious that this discussion has been rumbling on for a while now. Many good points have been made. By my reckoning, the tally is:
1. Remove the dev list entirely ==> 3 votes 2. Keep the dev list but only for traffic not relevant to users of the code ==> 7 votes 3. Keep dev list for some wider set of traffic (please specify criteria you believe applies if selecting this option) ==> 0 votes 4. Remove dev and user. Instead use discuss at qpid.apache.org. ==> 2 votes At what point do we come to a conclusion? Personally, I think we should close the poll in 48 hours time.
