Yeah, that's ridiculous.

I'm not. Are you suggesting that a person who sends a 570kB file without
a second thought, is going to bother using pastebin?

Another point I can think of, is if a person with a limited internet
account downloads an email but the link points to a 404, do you think
they're going to be pleased?

I personally would go WTF, what's the point of having the mailing list
archived at all! Come on guys, lets not throw common sense out the
window.

It's fine to post logs and configuration files to the mailing list, it's
been happening, like forever, no need to change it now.
