People seem to be missing the point of this list. xfree86 has always been the trouble reporting list for the project. As such, bug reports and bugzilla notices are on topic here. For lower traffic discussion related to development, you should be subscribed to devel. (http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo) If you get to much traffic from this list, but are primarily interested in trouble reports, you might try following the list through an archive like MARC instead of subscribong.
