   Software products (esp FOSS) still rely heavily on mailing lists.   
   It's much nicer having information COME to you than having to PULL it.   
   And, you don't have to dick with silly "forum software" that doesn't   
   know how to thread, adores HTML, etc.   
      
   It's also a lot more private (or, can be) and disciplined.  There's   
   additional "responsibility" that comes with knowing your comments   
   are being *distributed* to a particular group of people (instead   
   of "being made available")
