ozwinux? Sounds like an unholy alliance between windows and linux. I think the universe would implode.
I see nothing wrong with creating a new list but I wouldn't force or even encourage migration. I would advertising its existence rather than say its a replacement. Let people migrate if they choose to. Either people will warm to the idea and stop posting on the current lists or they wont bother with the new list. Just my opinion.
