    LSM had a perfect signal:noise ratio when we used a closed list, but 
    LKML politik forced the imperfect approach of "open/filter" on us :-/  
    We're doing the best we can to filter, but this has been a very bad month.

    Don't most other major subsystems have a mailing list, and it's actually 
    the minor discussion that happens on the sub-list and the major stuff 
    that gets cc'd to LKML? What do e.g. linux-usb and linux-hotplug-devel 
    do about spam?
