Howdy, I make this suggestion every time there is a new major release coming, maybe this time will be the one! :)
One could argue that with the 2 active stable branches that we have now the freebsd-stable@ mailing list is already quite confusing. Adding a third (8-STABLE) will make it much more so (arguably confusion to the third power instead of just confusion squared), for a lot of reasons that I think are probably obvious. Thus, my suggestion. Split what is currently freebsd-stable into one list per branch. This year I even have a better suggestion for the names, freebsd-6@, freebsd-7@, and freebs...@. After the flag day mail sent to the existing -stable list can get an auto-reply explaining the new world order. What do you think?
