Indeed, it can be. But I can't keep up with the huge number of commits everyday, and I'm not interested in the large majority of them. while discussions between developers > tend to be focussed on particular obscure points (e.g. discussing > correctness of a murky corner in the intersection between 2 new type > system extensions, or discussing the way PIC is handled on OSX/PowerPC) > which I wouldn't have thought were of much interest to any party not > involved in the discussion and familiar with the details. > I find these things (both examples, actually) more interesting. I'm more likely to follow such threads than I am to skim the commits. Anyway, I'm not really too fussed about what mailing lists we have.
