The obvious counterargument is that they'll take care of the filtering
by simply unsubscribing. We don't want people to avoid us. If
somebody looks at our list archives and see lots of flames, they may
be discouraged from participating. If somebody posts a bug and
somebody replies saying that xyz on Gentoo is dead and that you'd be
better off on another distro, they'll probably take that advice
ensuring xyz remains dead. Etc.
It is a bit of "we will not hide problems" vs "not hiding problems
actually causes those problems." Suicide by social contract?
