No. We need it to announce test updates and QA efforts are going to be 
discussed more in the future there.

Fedora maintainers was created due to the huge amount of unnecessary 
noise in this list on various occasions. If a Fedora maintainers 
discussion happens that would only apply to Fedora Extras, feel free to 
redirect people to the appropriate list.

In general, the "problem" of people discussing development bugs in this 
list is not very big as much as random people jumping in with their 
opinions on things not related to Fedora development in anyway. We cant 
be periodically having a purpose of the list discussion.
