Change in mailing list configuration

[Florian Ledermann]

I'm unsubscribing in protest of those changes.

I was hoping that this proposal would be objected by more active 
community members, but as a mere lurker it is not worth it for me to 
engage in lengthy discussions, if the people in charge decide to break 
decodes-long established UX conventions on short notice for the sake of 
"spam protection". As far as I see it these developments are mainly 
driven by corporations who pursue the political goal of destroying 
independent email infrastructure, and I would have hoped the OS 
community to resist those developments instead of happily nodding along.

Best, Florian
