The 'trailhead' for that discussion was over here:<br>
<a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv6-beta-list/2013-December/thread.html" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv6-beta-list/2013-December/thread.html</a><br>
<br>
and I came away with the conclusion that at Least Bryan J<br>
Smith (for whom I have great respect in some matters) who is<br>
at Red Hat) was strongly advocating for a migration to other<br>
support venue<br>
<br>
Problem as I see it is that some such venue do ,and some do<br>
not leave 'breadcrumbs' that others can follow and read, and<br>
major search engines find hidden nuggets in. The thread<br>
petered out, and as you remark, no list for '7' (assuming for<br>
the sake of argument that which will be its name) has appeared<br>
<br>
Also the Red Hat acquisition and rework of the formerly<br>
independent CentOS communication venue seems substantially<br>
complete. A later post also cites dissappointment as to<br>
information density<br>
<br>
No big deal. I would rather light a candle than curse the<br>
darkness. This will be my only post here on this matter<br>
<br>
Please feel free to join the mailing list at:<br>
<a href="http://lists.clefos.org/mailman/listinfo/enterpriseseven-list" target="_blank">http://lists.clefos.org/mailman/listinfo/enterpriseseven-list</a><br>
if you are interested in the approach of an independent<br>
mailing list on the next major enterprise OS product (binary<br>
and 'from sources' rebuilds) from our host. I would hope to<br>
run it with civility and to stay close on topic. As need<br>
admits, additional lists are of course possible, but by and<br>
large, I hope that the RHEL and CentOS mailing lists venues<br>
will suffice for the next major release<br>
