I would say that it's useful to me to identify and declare blocks, sometimes I get more attention from SoS instead of Phab and Gerrit discussions (even in this new email list model). And I also use some filtering for keywords to highlight if the team and projects I'm part of are mentioned in case I miss something. Maybe I'm overfitted [1] to the task and SoS could be rethought, but right now I'm not against to keeping it.
I imagine it's a burden to house-keep SoS every week, perhaps the email list could be more automated to reduce that burden?

Hi,
TLDR: reply to me (off-list) if you would think Scrum of scrums is still useful.
I've been sending Scrum of scrums[0] mails to wikitech-l list since 2019-03-20[1]. The meeting has existed since 2013. I haven't done any proper research, but a quick look says the number of participating teams is decreasing significantly.
Quick sample, the first meeting of July in years 2014-2020.
