But at any rate, Exim 3 to ?? Is a very good opportunity to consider Postfix rather than Exim 4 as the ??. Mailman 2.x to 3.0 will likely present a similar opportunity to look around at what else there is.
I suspect that Mailman 2.x to 3.x will not be that rough. Yes, the architectural changes internally are quite massive, but I see no reason that a "make upgrade" process shouldn't be able to read the old pickle format data and rewrite that into whatever the new format is. I don't think that Mailman is as complex a program as either postfix or Exim, and I don't think the changes are going to be that painful.
Of course, I wasn't around for the 2.0.x to 2.1.x conversion, so I can't speak for how this has worked in the past.
(The seemingly never-ending lack of Majordomo 2 was what moved us to Mailman from Majordomo.)
What drove me to Mailman was not the lack of Majordomo2 per se, but was that there were so many additional things I had to add to the system to get it working the way I wanted, and adding Majorcool plus MHonArc to our existing Majordomo installation was likely to be about as painful as switching everything over to Mailman instead.
Mailman is certainly not perfect, but I think it's a lot more scalable and certainly more easily managed than Majordomo, and that's good enough for me.
