Purpose of dev-tech-xpcom
Christian Biesinger
I used to think it was about XPCOM itself, basically for questions about
the code in xpcom/**.
However, that doesn't seem to be how everyone else uses it. In fact, it
seems to be about all coding questions that are somewhat Firefox- or
XULRunner-related. Basically what the platform or extension lists are
supposed to be.
Should we, therefore, delete this list/newsgroup? As it is used, it is
redundant.

in the case of xpcom/* there is not much discussion happening, so the
misposts are in the majority.
It would indeed make sense to merge this newsgroup and whatever
newsgroup we have for platform discussion, then close this one.
Gervase is the newsgroup reorganization man, so CCing him.

OK; file a bug in mozilla.org / Newsgroups to get it done. Specify if
you want it nuked entirely or just made read-only (I _think_ that's
possible).
