Referring back to my notes from the time (Wed, 30 Mar 2005 17:58:23 +0200), Wilko, wearing his "FreeBSD core team secretary" hat, sent a note to admins@ informing us that Core had, after some debate, "decided it does not add any usefulnes anymore" and requested that the list be removed. I did that shortly after receiving Wilko's message. Peace, david (current hat: postmaster@freebsd.org) -- David H.
