seriously - this is not announcement 'with discussion elements' any more,
but feels like a full discussion list. I agree: stick to the announcements
here, and point to another location where people can discuss, please.
For this particular issue, I would suggest moving the discussion to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mailing_lists/Overview
There is also no reason to have this discussion in private, to the best of
my knowledge.
Thanks for bringing up the issue, thank you for your opinions. But putting
discussions on lists for vital announcements is likely leading to people
auto-archiving the list in general (I know I'm tempted to...)
Best, Lodewijk

If this is a announcement only list then the settings should be changed.
The list was formally announcement only (and still should treated like
such just
with discussion elements for vital or important issues like this).
Call it an informal announcement list? I changed this due to a lack of
other venues for discussion and an overwhelming amount of people wanting to
discuss this topic.
