I can't imagine that there's not going to need to be a "catchall" list for problems that don't fit into any of the subcategories. More generally, we already have most of the lists that you suggest, and we already know that people frequently don't find the most appropriate list for postings. I don't think getting rid of -general would help that in the least. The way to cut down on misposted traffic is to make the set of categories smaller and simpler, not to redouble our efforts to persuade people to use the same or even more categories. BTW, as far as "no crossposting" goes: usually when I find myself doing that, it's to redirect a thread that started on -bugs or -general into -hackers. I don't see the need for that going away. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
