Real Programmers dont use Forum On a less joking comment: the ML is the medium of choice for serious communication, simply since you don't need a web browser for it, and nobody doing serious work based on - or involving - a communication medium will want to poll a forum 20 times a day for new posts - that's what mail clients got invented for, to start with (well actually POP3 and the clients were first, nonsense like web mailers and fora came later). Thus retiring ML is probably not an option, though of course the decision is up to the developers in the end. Integrating ML and forum afaik never really panned out either, since usually the noise from forum incl the web/URL centric style popular there will poison the ML. Guess why e.g. LKML is no forum, after all those years. Seems ML just work for certain specific use cases. Forum works for other usecases maybe. my 2 €-cent /j
