IIRC, that's why the redirect to python-dev was added to begin with: of
course people will reply to python-checkins, and then the next guy x-posts
to python-dev too, and the next three in turn variously remove one or the
other groups, or keep both or add c.l.py too. In the end, no single archive
contains a coherent record on its own, and the random mix of "[Python-Dev]"
and "[Python-checkins]" Subject tags even make it impossible to sort by
(true) subject easily in your own mail client.

Don't care <wink -- but simple tech approaches to human carelessness (the
true problem here!) don't work no matter which way you flip the switch>.
