Thread: Time to retire -performance?
Team, I think it is time to retire this list. It gets very, very little traffic and most people (by an extreme margin) just use -general or -hackers.

Indeed. There are some lists I think we possibly *could* retire,
like -interfaces, but -performance is reasonably popular.

Actually I was thinking we could retire pgsql-php and redirect the almost non-existant traffic to -interfaces. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

And -admin but -performance is reasonably popular by what metric? http://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-performance/before/201601011713 Is pretty dry in comparison to say -general. If we don't want to do it, cool. Just thinking maybe for the sake of more eyes equals more possibility of response.

What would > be the point? -performance did seem to have a heyday, about 4 years ago, when Greg Smith was very active; Greg specifically names -performance in his book, for example. While I think the -performance list has declined since then, I'd still never vote to remove it. -- Peter Geoghegan

To be fair, the (very few) threads that have have appeared there any time recently would have been better on -general, so I'd push them there instead.
