I noticed in arch-dev that there was a lot of frustration with the 
quality of discussion
on arch-general these days.   I think it's very unfortunate that the 
noise to signal
ratio has gotten to the point where we have one less way of communicating
with the devs.  There are very few avenues already.

Sorry to see you (and the others devs, and the TUs) go.
