Re: Is this list redundant?
I totally agree. The list has been invaluable for me (and my family) in terms of technical information when there are periodical changes. I am deeply grateful for the expert help out there, the technical work put in to keep the project going and the free and open source ethos behind it all.

Absolutely, I find the list very valuable and greatly appreciate the work done to make it available. Many times I have derived useful knowledge from here, and would very much miss it if it were no more.

Likewise the git repository on git.infradead.org — if development is happening on github, there's no point in just mirroring it here, is there? that one I can't make an argument for keeping. the repo over on github seems to be the source of everything nowadays (and I confess I changed the ubuntu build scripts to pull from there some time ago).
