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? Doug
And what if someone sends mail to FreeBSD-stable? Reject it because this list is just for archiving purposes? Or accept it and send it out (just like now) adding yet more confusion?
Personally, I don't have a problem with the current situation, but then that's just me...
Just my 2 cents, Philipp
