I seem to have missed something.

Actually, this thread is the first I have heard of it.

I am a bit confused here. I am not on anything other than 
mailing lists. I gave up trying to keep track of 100 updates
on Planet Gnome daily, I can never find anything on the wiki,
IRC was a time-sink. But I remain on mailing lists, because
I can read them on my own schedule. 

Clearly I am not on enough lists, though, because I have
missed where this was brought up. Who wants to get rid of
them, and in favour of what?
