So they will not notice a migration to Mailman 3 at all then.
You miss the point- _I'll_ notice, I'm the one who'd be doing the work.
Also, from https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/pre-installation-guide.html
"The short version is that as of now, upgrading from Mailman 2.1 to
Mailman 3.1 is buggy."
I am pretty sure that documentation is old. Here is a quote from the above
page:
[...]
Old? You've quoted the next paragraph on the same page.
And why would I use linux when I have FreeBSD? :)
That is good as long as no major "DMARC" events come along. Nobody is
complaining that folks are using MM2. But I am seeing some complaints
pointed at the MM developers for no longer willing to develop MM2.
That's a completely separate topic and you'll have noticed that I'm not one
of the complainers.
See, the problem here is, the developers did develop and improve the
Mailman project, its just now called Mailman 3. So embrace and respect
their hard work and move your dang lists to Mailman 3!
When I get to it, maybe in 2022.
The thing is- no matter how much you may want people to "upgrade", there
just aren't sufficient reasons for potentially a lot of small list
operators. Perhaps I'm a luddite- I drive a 15 year old car because it
works, most of my home systems are 5+ years old because they work and are
plenty fast for the load, I use a 18? year old Brother printer because it
works, etc. When one of them stops working it'll get replaced (if I can't
repair it). There is little reason to replace things that still function as
much as one needs.

There is absolutely no reason against, and there are certainly several

I heartily agree. Developers move on all the time and sometimes others pick
up the codebase and run with it. Embrace that.
Later,

who also plays with a 100 year old steam tractor and a 120 year old printing
press; both do their jobs well
