As we're about to move to a new mailing list (that was copied on this
email), let's go over the reasons of why this is being done.

Q1) Why are you moving the mailing list?
A1: The autotest mailing list is being maintained on a box that can't be
upgraded, it's running over 500 days and therefore, it's a liability, it
has to be shut down for good.

Q2) This is a @redhat.com mailing list. Is it internal and I'm missing
something?
A2: Red Hat offered to host the mailing list. As we have no intention of
keeping the old box turned on whatsoever, I had to move it somewhere. I
even created a google groups, but it was suggested that good ol' mailman
was a better choice.

So autotest-ker...@redhat.com is the new autotest upstream mailing list,
let's move all discussion to that place.

Q3) Why -kernel in the name?
A3: My mistake, I thought autotest was already taken. Doesn't seem
important enough to request a new list. It's just a mailing list, once
you update the filters and all, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Q4) When the old list will be shut down?
A4: The old box is intended to be shut down on Monday, to give people
some time to react and complain about anything they feel is wrong.

Q5) Where should I send all autotest related mail? I'm still confused.
A5: Please send everything out to autotest-ker...@redhat.com and update
your filters. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
