I've been too busy to read much email at all recently.

I know that, and that's where I expected these to go.

:-) I got tired of seeing Anaconda patches, the focus has changed since 
I subscribed many years ago, so I left it.

I'm pretty happy reviewing proposed changes to Anaconda, some of them I 
disagree with strongly, but not the patches thanks.

I can't help thinking that if I did want to find where stuff relevant to 
installing RHEL/Fedora got changed, it's the Anaconda list that I'd 
search. I don't think (until now) I'd have thought of the ks list.

The difference is a bit murky, and I see the argument that discussion of 
(including implementation of changes to) tools to configure kickstart 
process belongs here, but if I were setting up or managing these lists 
I'd prefer all _development_ of RH/Fedora installation tools on the 
anaconda list, and use of those tools on this.

The audiences are different, this list caters well to those using the 
installation tools.

fwiw I did review the official descriptions of these (and some other 
lists) and generally they are pretty vague, and I suspect that of 
redhat-devel has been changed from when RHL 6,x were current (it was 
pretty busy then).
