All of this crap is filler for the stuff we have coming very soon.

Current levels of posts on forums.debian.net suggest otherwise. (More
questions being asked there than here; generally fewer responses
though.) So do popcon graphs which show a continuing increase in the
number of etch installations.

Okay. So I guess the DU ML should just close up shop and be done with
it.

Nah, the kids these days think MLs are old hat and frumpy compared to
web forums. You can't point and click on anything in slrn or mutt.
The best they can do is googling with "site:lists.debian.org". Maybe
with enough of that, they'll begin to wonder what that ML stuff is all
about, since all the useful answers they get seem to come from there.
