Sure, I was just suggesting an alternative in case this ML becomes too
high-traffic, I guess we all know that high traffic MLs are not very
efficient, posts get lost in the noise.

I consider it very dismissive and furthermore the argument that too many
task-rpms are confusing is pointless (one more task rpm doesn't mean too
many and who is to decide what's too many, how long is a piece of string?)
and very dismissive (a volunteer and new poster offering to do something
that other users will appreciate immediately get's confronted with the
exagerated argument that what he wants to do will cause too much
clutter...).

Anyway, like I said I think we should be following more the principle of
'live and let live' rather than 'lowest common denominator' here.
