Re: [iovisor-dev] Upcoming Migraton to Groups.io

FYI for the iovisor-dev subscribers. Alexei and I were given a heads
up on this ahead of time and given a chance to find a service other
than groups.io, but it seemed like a reasonable change that LF is
making so we decided to let this proceed. Hopefully it works out fine!
This will likely be happening to other LF mailers as well.
