to my mind, the aroot approach requires a center.
the rest of the world calls one place. the center talks to itself.
in this round, I think this mailing list is the center. so we're trying
to figure out how to do the internal cooperation.

I was thinking more of "do we mail this list everytime something goes 
boink?" as a first approximation.
My mailfilters wouldn't notice the increase much. But if others don't want 
the line noise, I won't mail about it.
