Read the original message and not the partial quote that you made. I explicitly said there was an exception for --overwrite type posts.
But any restriction being made on posting due to not posting drafts to the list would be complete.
Hi Allan,
I think you're overreacting (again) for something that's not properly coded anywhere. And, the last time this was discussed, I have talked about cases of news that couldn't be brought on a-d-p for discussion. We have other places to discuss those (staff@), but still, until we have *clear* guidelines about this, let's not rush to implement anything.
My apologies. I believed this had been covered on the mailing list and I am told it was only on IRC, and never passed on to the TU channel, which I will accept as an excuse despite everyone(?) involved but the poster being on both channels...
I have proposed a news entry regarding zstd, Robin did the statistics and we've discussed this for 2 days on #archlinux-tu. If you're looking for somebody to blame, look no further. Take away my news posting rights (you'll have to also take away my archweb admin rights in this case).
And let's properly codify this ok? Because it's not codified anywhere. I could've asked Robin to send an email to a-d-p, but most of the work we've done on the draft was on a pad. This was reviewed by quite a few people. I asked Robin to do it, because since they pushed zstd, they should've also be the ones doing the news entry. But I would do it myself this week, if they didn't.
Do we really need to write down everything? Have we reached a point in the distro where common sense has stopped? Why would an announcement that affects the whole distro not be run past all team members by default? Allan
