+1

Also apart from the fact that almost all kernel subsystems are discussed
in vger, the anti-spam filters in vger seem very efficient.

OTOH, wondering whether some of the the protocol specific or client
behavior specific stuff should get discussed in samba-technical if we
plan to move to vger?

More idle thoughts.. :)
