The mixminion is far from a finished product, but there are user that rely on it because they trust more mixminion over mixmaster, despite being it a stable system. Is the same situation of Freenet, always in beta but widely used. > See my miniontest results at http://www.cside.dyndns.org/minion.html for an > example of how this change is affecting the system. > > It would have been better if you had talked about this in public on the list > *before* you unilateraly made the change. I agree, but I want to make a note. This list, as the Nymbaron one, is almost dead, no talk between developers, no news, questions or proposals. I suppose most of the developer communications are done in different ways (chat, private mail) but this is in my humble opinion a REAL BAD THING. Investing a little time in communication between developer & power user is a good investment. > cside will *not* be changing at this time. > > Can I suggest please that people change back - at least until we have all > discussed this and made sure it doesn't impact testing of things like Nymbaron. > > If you want to help with testing then please consider running miniontest to > give the system a better workout.
