I'd guess that was a good idea - both -hackers and -current seems overloaded, and a not-so-public list might mean that key developers could both follow the 'high-level' discussions and have time to actually do development. OTOH: I didn't see how the list died, so I can't say that 'the time is ripe'. If the list goes active, I'd like to join if possible, though :-) Eivind.
