Sorry to be picky, but if they don't respond publicly we don't know why unless they respond privately and I don't recall seeing someone claim to have seen such a set of responses. (I'd also be surprised to hear such a claim, given the topic.) Speaking as someone with a bit of experience of trying to evaluate consensus (or the lack thereof) on mailing lists, my take fwiw is that the responses seen in this thread so far are overwhelmingly in favour of not closing the list. Now experience with IETF lists doesn't translate directly to this list, but nonetheless it's rare to not see some divergence of opinion on the action to take. This thread seems to be one of those rarities. Cheers, S.
