The problem is that the -stable list is overrun with inappropriate
traffic. If we open another list, it will suffer the same fate. Your best
bet is to vigorously protect the sanctity of the list by privately mailing
people who make inapproropriate posts.
The other alternative is not to track -stable. If you don't have
time to keep up with the e-mail, you're probably better off with a
-release version, or following the security related posts for the new
"security patches only after a release" versions.
Good luck,
Doug
