It is.

We were discussing that a few times now, it's  a fair request. But we 
decided against that for now. I hope you can support that decision.

With the switch to the github bug tracking system, we see a good share 
of the technical discussions moving to the github discussion forums. 
That will on the one hand take away some traffic and on the other hand 
keep stuff more on the point. That given, we think it makes sense that 
devs, other contributors and users stay as connected as possible.

But, let me explicitely say that, we still want to discuss tech details 
on the list as much as needed.

regards,

Klaas
