Hi,

I don't have the email on hand, but it was acknowledged by MariaDB that this system is inefficient. I'm not the first one to complain about it.  I figure I should keep complaining about it, since there was a promise to fix it.  I'll refrain from characterizing the current situation with an negative statements.

Agree that complaining isn’t going to help. But agree that fixing the process is what needs to happen - this is after all a mailing list.

If the resources are an issue, maybe the Knowledgebase code can be open sourced and others can add such a feature?

cheers,
