Hi,
I'm not sure how the desire for IETF Last Call discussions
to be on a dedicated and constrained mailing list in any way
implies that this generalized and unconstrained list is somehow a failure.
Filtering by subject line is unreliable.
For example, please provide a filter that will
not have any false positives or negatives over the
past 20,000 emails on this list. Do we have tools that make sure
no human has altered any subject line inappropriately?
Filtering by mailing list address is much easier and more reliable.
True, but it's a much coarser implement. Indeed, I mainly filter
to 'junk' rather than 'trash' so that once in a while I can
check for false positives. False negatives aren't that big a
problem in practice; the delete key works quickly.
