I do. I am the release manager and the only one making releases so I get to decide. > I've got to be honest, Mailman 3 still looks unstable to me.

Where do you get the idea that I said MM 2 will be disappearing? I never said that. I just said there will be no further releases after 2.1.30. This list will not go away, and I will not stop reading/responding until the need for that goes away assuming I live that long > I guess I'm just still a bit shocked to see you rush to abandon > something so popular and established. I'm not rushing to abandon anything. I'm just saying don't expect Mailman 2.1.31 from the GNU Mailman project. > Personally, I'd like to see the GNU Mailman project have a formal > Mailman 2.3 release that supports Python3, I feel that there would be a > lot of support for that. If you want to port Mailman 2 to Python 3, you are welcome to do it. I have said before that a much better use of time and resources would be the implementation of a light weight, non-Django web UI for Mailman 3, but I don't see anyone raising a hand to do either. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
