FWIW, I tend to think it's useful... I like to use @redhat.com
sign-offs because I'm working on behalf of red hat, but for all non-NDA
email I use an account that doesn't depend on my employer.
Because of the potential for unintended info leakage these days,
corporate email access is reclaimed the minute you leave a company. It
isn't wise to depend on the corporate email account.
That's why I patiently and kindly ask people to email me at the
addresses I've always used for open source (jgarzik@...ox, jeff@...zik).
Open conversations don't need to get locked in a corporate tomb :)
