So, in implementing this we did consider that different lists might wish
for different policies and given that -hackers seems to be common among
the discussion, what if we just dropped the restriction for posts to
-hackers?

That is, emails to -bugs and -hackers would be allowed through to both
lists, cross-posts to -general and -sql, for example, would get the
bounce-back.

As there seems relatively little downside, I've gone ahead and made that
change, but I don't mean to forstall further discussion. Should we
apply that change to other lists? To all of them?

Tom's idea about allowing cross-posts on replies is an interesting one
as well. I've also added a certain someone to the thread explicitly to
see what his thoughts are on that, and the rest.

Thanks!
