I think that the only time this actually has any meaning is with people whose email software isn't bright enough to filter it. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure everyone filters it anyway. php-dev is full of people who aren't actually developing, but are just interested in watching the development trends. Forcing them to see the bugs isn't going to do anything in any level - either they'll ignore it, or filter it out, because they can't do anything about it anyway. We both know that just receiving the bug reports doesn't have any meaning if you're not willing to actually spend time working on them. I don't think it's that important (that's my last post on this thread :), but it does look kind of odd that instead of just separating the lists, we tell people 'filter them!'
