I didn't say we aren't not going to use it.

I just said that given the size of the email traffic and the variety of 
people (almost a thousand) that this move will impact, the ASF 
infrastructure team is considering this with great care and, as usual, 
doesn't want to rush things, but try to do them right.

Besides, there is no hurry since, as I said, you still do all you want 
from your end without impacting everybody else.
