that was IMHO a pretty bad idea. At least me doesn't like to be
subsribed to mailing-lists w/o being asked. The first thing I did
when I received the welcome message from the subscription was to
think "who the hell did that and how" and to unsubscribe. Of course
this mail from you was further down in the inbox.

Wouldn't it have be sufficient to just ask for subscriptions on 
gtk-dvel-list? I think it would, so please don't ever do this again.

Apart from all this, I don't see why decision about the future of GTK+
can't be handled on gtk-devel-list. Do I really need to join a GNOME
mailing-list for this purpose ?


Salut, Sven
