Everyone seems fairly possitive about making this change. If no one objects by tomorrow, I'll file a INFRA issue to go ahead and do this.
For dev@, it would be merging: general commons-dev xmlrpc-dev woden-dev wss4j-dev jaxme-dev users@ would, at this point, just be xmlrpc-user I THINK all the other lists at: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/#ws are either already moved on to other TLP's (juddi/axis) or retired to the attic. Can someone double check that? I'm not familliar with all the names for the various Axis modules that would have been merged already and such so I'd like to be sure about it. Thanks!
