Right, I understand that.  The question is: will announcements still go
to this list, or just to the announcements list?  For some projects, the
discussion list is subscribed to the announcements list, so
announcements go to all.

I don't think I can actually think of an arrangement that ISN'T like
that.  But the wording of this discussion sounds like it might be the
case that announcements wont actually keep going to this list (thus the
reason we all need to be subscribed to the announcements list
individually).

I would prefer to see the (to me) usual method: discussion list is
subscribed to announcements list, and those who only want announcements
would switch themselves over.  Though, it seems to be a moot point now.
