Doesn't help because your mail's still sorted into the same folder with
all the other mails having [stdlib-sig] in the title :)

FWIW, I asked gmane today to add the stdlib-sig; but I fear that this
period of high volume is over before they get to it.

The whole document? Seems a bit too intrusive to me, and there is no obvious
connection to the deprecation if the deprecation notice is still hard to see.

But still possible, if you want it :)

It would still have an ordinary number, but that's of course possible.
