Well, the core team all hang out on -current so you can always catch our ear there if the other lists become too busy. I think at least a few of us will stay on all the lists whatever happens, I know I will. I think the flood will actually be to the newsgroups anyway, they'll suddenly become much busier which is what I think most of us want, I doubt the lists will get significantly busier. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
