While I agree with you, how are you going to determine if some thread
is going to be OT before it gets reasonable amount of replies? By
killing threads/sending threads to sounder too early you might
actually lose some good input.

If there would be a wiki page that clearly stated what is and what's
not appropriate for -devel AND if that page would be the first thing a
new subscriber encounters AND if threads weren't killed too early I'm
sure there would be less people discussing appropriate use of -devel
itself.

As for me, I will unplug my keyboard after I write this line :)
