There are a dozen third party services supporting the Apache Subversion community. There really isn't a reason to fear this one. Especially when the Foundation has a contractual relationship with them. I'm just worried that we point someone to an external archive, start to > accumulate a lot of links and suddenly the external party lose interest in > maintaining the site and we end up in a situation where we have a lot of > links that suddenly are 404. Similar to what happened to svn.haxx.se a > Key difference: lists.apache.org compared to svn.haxx.se Should the Foundation ever terminate its agreement with the lists.a.o service provider, we can provide redirection since we "own" the hostname and can run a redirection service. Please don't worry about 404s. We have spent the past couple years building redirection rules for mail-archives.a.o, over to lists.a.o. Those are still being tweaked/modified, as we speak. That same kind of effort will apply to any lists.a.o turn-off, should it ever happen one day. Regards, Greg InfraAdmin, ASF; fellow svn
