As usual, we're in violent agreement here. IIRC, the original charter
of
-hackers was for people hacking on FreeBSD; writing system apps that
need
intimate knowlege of the system, but not necessarily for the core team.
I think the idea of an architecture list that is moderated is a great
idea, but moderating such a list can become a BIG job. Another feature
that would be great would be to allow "lurker", or read-only,
subscriptions
for those who would like to follow the discussions but are not yet ready
to participate.
