Perhaps a silly question, but why retire the MHonArc archives at all?
The goal is to save only once copy of the mail archives for all
purposes. Current practices involve duplicate stores, which impact
storage and replication and are subject to inconsistency. Also, if
the Secretariat is asked to remove a spam message from the archives,
it must be done in multiple places.
The full answer is captured in RFC 6778.
That's a full answer to his question, but not mine. Was there a
decision (from the IAOC or IESG) to retire the MHonArc archives? If
so, a pointer to that would be useful.
FWIW, RFC 6778 mentions MHonArc once:
There are many existing archived messages containing embedded links
into the existing MHonArc [MHonArc] mail archive. These links must
continue to work, but they should reach the message as archived in
the new system.
To me, that goes against the idea of retiring the archives.
Good point. +1
