I have no real objections against closing down the mailing list though
there are two things that came to mind:
- Is there a solid group of people with sufficient in-depth knowledge of
MB replying to users on a regular base? I.e. do people get sufficient
help at this stage?
- Are there people willing to monitor and/or deal with the interesting
issues and requests for enhancement which should be passed to the dev's?
I.e. is there a way to prevent important bugs from being ignored by the
people who can/should fix them?
