I'm inclined to close down this list.
It was originally set up as a forum for discussing issues associated
with the move from libc5 to glibc, and with updating glibc at a time
when that could be problematic. Thanks largely to Andreas Jaeger's
willingness to answer questions clearly at and length, it was a very
useful resource.
I think its moment has passed. Nowadays, thanks to the developers,
glibc is both mature and easy to update. In several months now, I
haven't seen any traffic on the list that could not have been better
posted elsewhere -- e.g. in programmer forums or distro-specific
newsgroups.
Therefore, if I don't hear much in the way of protest, I plan to close
the list down. I will leave the archive available because there is
some useful material in there.
Thanks to everyone for their participation.
