Maybe we can do something to change the python-dev ethics in order to alleviate the problem? I'm skimming python-dev and read some of the discussion. The problem is when a VM-related question shows up in the message 77 of a thread that does not have anything in topic that would catch my attention. If all the interesting questions that we have to answer are in their own topic, I think it's fine to be subscribed to python-dev, provided I don't have to read all the bikeshedding. But maybe I'm too optimistic and this is not changeable. Cheers, fijal
