You let the quarrel go this far before you even bothered to mention that? You're clearly not serious about selling the email features of Discourse.
You're trying to convince email users that your preferred communication program is better than their preferred communication program. Users of various email programs are saying no, the program I have chosen works better for my needs. Do you also waste time trying to convince Emacs users to switch to Vi?
Instead of trying to make everybody use the same Javascript program, what you should do is show how your preferred program implements the relevant standards to be interoperable with my preferred program, so that we can communicate while each using our respective programs. If it's not interoperable, then that's where the problem is.
I'm not enthusiast about this proposed change too, but let's not go personal.
100% agreed.
As I understand, it's not about Matthew personal preferences, it's about maintaining mailing list running needs manpower which Fedora is running out of. Switching to Discourse can probably relief some of the burden from fedora-infra guys.
I can't speak (or type) for Matthew, but I don't think that actually has much to do with this. I'd love to be running a newer/better supported mailman3 (and some folks have been hard at work to make that happen), but even if right now today we had a super clean, well supported mailman3 install for our lists, all the points in Matthews email would still apply. He didn't mention mailman3 in his post at all that I can see. I think we will be running mailing lists in some form for a long while still, just fewer people will be interacting with them.
