If this was publicly announced anywhere, I didn't see it.
I would have pushed back if I had. CC'ing -hackers on a reply to
a bug report is something I do all the time, and I do not think
it'd be a good idea to stop doing so, nor to make the thread
disappear from the -bugs archives.
I'm quite on board with the need to reduce useless cross-posting,
but this is not the solution.
Maybe there could be a different rule for initial submissions
(one list only) than follow-ups (can add lists)?
