Just some followups:
Re filters: As Paul already joked, I obviously do use an e-mail
client with filters. But of course the problem is that filters don't
stop the intial problem, which is an awful lot of traffic through my
poor little server. Even worse, when I am on the road and over a
lowly 33.6K link, downloading the hundreds of I-D announcements just
to filter them only serves to slow down the whole process.
Re "everyone should read the drafts anyway": WGs always get the
announcements for the WG drafts, so I always read the one's for WGs
with which I am involved. Other drafts can be dealt with by the
occasional search. Those who really have lots of time on their hands
can subscribe to the I-D announce list.
Re announcing all documents separately: Since RFC's are not nearly as
numerous, and I am interested to see what's been finalized and
published in all areas, I wouldn't be in favor of that split.
And again, this might significantly cut traffic out of the secretariat.
Any other objections to such a move?
