Strange, I had got the impression it was about 50 / 50 ! ( I'd even been thinking it might be worth asking core to consider calling for a vote on a name change in perhaps a week, after anyone away had had time to catch up on mail (no rush about this after all :-) ) > hackers@freebsd.org it stays, obviously we'd need a sizeable majority for a change > I see no reason why that someone couldn't just > create a local gateway to the mailing list using a different name. Well, that person would have to have a site that was OK to be flooded by mail, & had high availability, & it could confuse things. How about if we added to freebsd.org:/etc/aliases : something: hackers Then those of us who find `hackers' an embarassment of a name could use `something' & it'd all still be neatly tied into the main site PS I guess we'd need a hook for majordomo too.
