Hi All,

No doubt you have all noticed that there is quite a lot of
traffic on the linux-kernel ML.

I had an idea. Why dont you split the list into a 2.4 list and a 2.5 list?

If this has already been suggested please dont hurt me :P

Cheers
Dave

It's suggested about once every two months :-)

Seriously, the main problems with doing that are that:

* Most developers would end up subscribing to both lists anyway
* Some issues are common to both trees and would be posted to both
lists, creating even more traffic.
