[LEDE-DEV] List Prefix

[Fernando Frediani]

Well, it reminds some discussions about "what text editor is better?".
Nobody will convince anybody.

Exactly, it is not a clear win to avoid it.
Is it a "old-style" thing ? Maybe, but it is something real and used
of the majority of lists which people are used with and doesn't cause
any critical damage to the work they do here. Or someone would say
that having it will be a killer to potential contributions to the
project ?

Sometimes I fell this type of discussion becomes more a "ego" thing
than a proper discussion in benefit of what will make the project
progress better.
Come on. It´s not a big thing and it helps some people to organize
their mailboxes in the way they prefer.
We are talking about just 10 extra characters !
