Parent article: An update on the scraper situation
I'm coming to the conclusion that it doesn't make sense to have a whole public gitweb or cgit or similar on the web anymore. There are a few pages of that are valuable to provide to my users, like the most recent commit log and the current file tree, and a things like commits that I link to specifically from blog posts. But the ability to explore deeply through the whole git history is a marginal value, and the value proposition for that has overall gone negative. The interested user can make their own clone and use their own tools on it.
LWN's mailing list archives may have a similar value distribution.
The LWN site is currently under high scraper load, so comment display has been suppressed for anonymous users. If you are a human, you may read the comments by clicking the button below:
