WT:RFA tends to be pretty wide ranging and WP:AN/I is one of the
places major flareups can begin (although I would generally suggest

WP:AN/I is however very much on the coalface of en.wikipedia. If you
want to know what problems are cropping on a day to basis that is the
kind of thing you need to pay attention to rather than the rather more
abstracted mailing lists.

With the number of policies listed at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_policies

The weakings who sleep or do silly things like actually edit the
article pages are going to miss stuff. Sure this will sometimes result
in you staring blearily at a deletion log wondering why CSD#T2 has
come back to life (answer it means something different now) but that
is pretty unavoidable.
