The one question I would have would be do the kernel.org people want to see all of the traffic that we currently have on the open fabrics general list for all of the user-space components?
I do not think it would be good if we had to have one list on vger for kernel work and another one for all the user-space work. Other than that, I do not really care where the general develop list is hosted.
