Well, for the moment, Discourse
supports it (as well as Fedora updates) -
and FWIW I've never used RSS Support in Fx. I use Tiny Tiny RSS and
Inoreader and have yet to have a problem adding a feed from a site. There
are also many many other clients available - too many to list here.
If it goes away however, such is life - and I'll use the next best thing.
But RSS really isn't the point of this thread. My point is that Fedora
should move to Discourse. It's a much better solution for
discussion. We should publish a timeline and just do it.
What does migration look like? Existing mail archive is imported into
Discourse, or is it a hard break? If hard break, what's the possibility of
a pseudo import, where Discourse searches include results from the mail
archive? Can the existing subscriptions be transferred to Discourse? And
could those transfers default to making list mode?
Infrastructure team would do this work? What's their position, available
resources, and timeframe?
