Re: [XenARM] Moribund or just plain dead

OK. In this case I will make a formal proposal to archive the list later this week and call a community vote. 

Archiving means: 

* taking the list out of http://www.xenproject.org/help/mailing-list.html

* closing it to new posts (i.e. have an auto-reply referring users to xen-devel and xen-users)

* making an announcement on the list to notify existing users

Regards

Lars

Archiving the list would solve the majority of the confusion IMHO,
although it probably means we'll start getting the occasional question
about PV Xen on ARM on xen-devel instead, that's a minor concern
compared with positive of the number of hardware assisted Xen on ARM
questions which would no longer be going to the wrong list...
