When will people give up this archaic practice of sending patches over emails?

When enough people don't want to do it anymore. Feel free to step up, live with email patches, and add to the numbers of those who don't like it and say so.

Why is it archaic if it works? I get there might be other ways to do patch sharing and discussion but what exactly is your problem with email as a transport?

You might as well describe voice and ears as archaic!

Archaic:

Very old or old fashioned

Dictionaries work fine for those with eyes, minds and fingers.

This mechanistic effort at a definition is insufficient. How on earth can whatever this is manage less than a thumb through a dictionary?

Archaic has way more meanings than just "old".
