Subject: bug#37926: [PATCH] Unify Gnus select methods
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 02:05:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r22w2ij7.fsf@dick> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <878sp5arwy.fsf@gnus.org> (Lars Ingebrigtsen's message of "Mon, 28 Oct 2019 15:03:25 +0100")

It doesn't fix anything.  I think Eric Abrahamsen adequately describes the
change in a parallel thread.

The introduction of a separate `gnus-secondary-select-methods` rather than
merely vectorizing `gnus-select-method` seems a youthful indiscretion that's
persisted to the present-day.  The "insider" convention of specifying a
primary of `nnnil` to symmetrize one's other backends has caused a collective
double-take among newer users like myself.
