AFAICS, discussions about this topic tend to turn into a big runaway
flamefest, usually starting from simple questions such as "what's
missing".  This happens every single time someone posts something like
this and the amount of information gets repeated is frightening, so I
hope these discussions will crop up less often than every two or so
months.  Not that I'm opposed to healthy discussion, but the usual
result of this topic is not that.

Just my two cents though, so feel free to disregard that.

Good to hear.

I already have such topics split to a separate group in Gnus, but
unfortunately the subject line regexp didn't match on "SourceHut", like
last time when it only matched on "migrate" and not "migration".

Thanks.
