You're right. However, I don't understand the basis of the affirmation:
"The users@ mailing list has failed". For the moment we have the users
mailing list, as the sole vector, and maybe it would be a good thing to
ask there what the users want. It is possible that the perception of
this failure is due to the lack of users?
