I don't think that opening arch-dev-public for everybody would solve our
problems, it would just relocate the noise into this list. The devs and TUs
really need a quiet list of their own with a good signal/noise ratio. (There is
no arch-dev-secret, is there?)
So what if there was a arch-technical list instead of a arch-support, where all
the help request could land and also *purely* technical contributions from
advanced users? dev-public could stay as-is with reports and other official
stuff, technical would be the list for support and contribution and discussion
for rambling and flaming :-)
The thing is, some users really want this kind of heated debate, and the only
alternative we currently have is banning, which some consider censorship, or
shutting the list down for a day (still, awesome!). With the new split there
would be the alternative "guys, stay on topic or take is to -discussion".
