The EOL notices were clarified to mean "no new features" I committed to continue to fix critical bugs and security issues going forward. If Mailman 2.1 meets their needs now, why won't it continue to do so as it is? (Aside: I still sometimes use Adobe Reader 9 for Linux on my desktop even though it has been unsupported and unavailable from Adobe for years.) > Flipping the coin around, make the actual written case, an "elevator > pitch" if you will, for some entity like NANOG or MAILOP to migrate to > mm3 this weekend. Let's see what that looks like. I'm not sure what the point of this is. According to <https://www.mailop.org/about/>, MAILOP is already on Mailman 3. It appears NANOG has only 3 public Mailman 2.1 lists and only one has archives pre-dating MM 2.1 which could require attention before importing to HyperKitty. So list migration via `mailman import21` and `django-admin hyperkitty_import` should be straightforward. I guess you are saying that step 1, "First install Mailman 3" would be the sticking point, but this is the same whether you are NANOG or mail.python.org or tiny site with one list, and it has been accomplished multiple times by multiple people.
