Strongly agreed.

But it seems there are people (like me) that want to discuss on a
mailinglist if the problems they see with packages from updates-testing
are individual to their computers or a general problem. They try to
avoid filing stupid bugs or duplicates. And it seems some of these
people don't want to do that on fedora-test-list because they feel lost
in with all the rawhide traffic there.
