So this is a good point to hook in: How do we handle changes affecting hundreds or even thousands of community members? Three questions from my side: - what was the final push to do this change *right now*? - what were the thoughts to do the change *this way*? - what was the criteria of balancing the effects between change and no change (not the ones *this* behaviour or *that* behaviour)? > Do not worry: The mailing lists are for the community, so it's the > community deciding how they should work.

I still can't see the problem this "test" should solve, which wouldn't need additional work on, to be solved reliably. > Sorry for this short notice, and I beg for your understanding that I'm > somehow sitting between two chairs here.
