When I initially talked to people about this the thought was that the
list would be moved, but that was considered too intrusive, and the
idea was dropped.

For my own part I am now using exclusively embedded, and will drop my
small membership in a week or so.  If people "vote with their feet"
and the traffic on small drops to 0 then we can make some choices
about it, but that is not important right now.

I would say that those subjects are fit for this list.

The idea is a name change, and not a subject change.  This was the
least intrusive way to make a name change.

Best,
