Can we do it by just dropping catalog-sig and keeping distutils-sig? I'm afraid we might lose some important distutils-sig population if the process involves renaming the list, resubscribing, etc. I also *really* don't want to invalidate archive links to the distutils-sig archive. All in all, +1 on not having two lists, but I'm really worried about "breaking" distutils-sig. We're still going to be talking about "distribution utilities", after all. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
