As (one of the) current 'editor(s)', I would definitely strongly oppose
requiring any tag use for feeds in the aggregator, so don't worry about
that, it's not going to happen if I have anything to say about it. (I am
still more than happy to include targetted feeds of of a particular
blog, if the person making the request to have that blog suggests it,
or, I suppose, at editors discretion if we go with the editors
discretion thing... ).
If everyone is fine with 'editorial discretion' for removing feeds,
that's certainly fine with me. It sounds like everyone is. Then we won't
have to spam this list with every little detail. I thought before there
would be significant opposition to that idea, perhaps I was wrong.
It still seems like a good idea that the editors will notify on the
listserv when we remove something?
I guess Antonio Barrera will be joining me as an 'editor'. Thanks Antonio.
