I can live with that; this is kind of an incremental process in any case, so there's no reason to go overboard on changing every reference to fedora-docs-list at once. If we're still getting a third of our threads devoted to out-of-band issues three or six months down the road we could make additional changes. > If we really want to drive the point home, we can put this blurb in the > "welcome to the mailing list" message emailed to new subscribers.
