Will these announcements occur so frequently that the SNR of l-a is
genuinely at risk?
At the NYC summit, I was concerned about the value people appeared to
place on mailing list proliferation. The l-a/l-a-k(/l-a-a) lists are IMHO
somewhat like the handhelds.org lists; because sufficiently many messages
can conceivably go to one of multiple "topic" lists, one tends to
subscribe to all lists. In this situation, the fact that there are
separate message channels is less helpful than it might be.
If a linux-arm-ad list is created, I'll subscribe to it. As I'm already
subscribed to the other lists, the traffic on this new list will be rather
like traffic on l-a/l-a-k to me. (Perhaps I'll pay some additional
attention due to the novelty value.) If everyone else on l-a behaves in a
similar way, then the advantage of a new -ad list is perhaps not great.
At the other end, perhaps no one will subscribe. If this is the case, why
post?
Do you want a segregated "ad" space for purity reasons, or do you
genuinely feel that the distinction aids in filtering/on-topicness/&c.?
