Should this only discuss technical decisions, or also provide user support?Hi,networking has always been an important part of building a Linux distribution, and nowadays in the world of VMs and containers and many different ways to bring up a network this is a constant cause of friction between packages. the different ways of building firewalls plays a big role.otoh, we do not have a general mailing list for network issues. We have debian-ipv6 and debian-firewall, the latter not having had ontopic traffic since 2022.Should we have a debian-network mailing list? Or is the networking topic so important that network issues should be discussed on debian-devel proper?
Independently of this decision, is it time now to sunset the debian-ipv6 and the debian-firewall mailing list due to the low traffic? Both ipv6 and firewalls are no longer a corner topic inside networking, both topics have become intrinsic part of networking in Linux.
Seems sensible to me. best, werdahias
