The virt list has long been in an odd place. Fedora has best in class
virt support, because so many virt developers use it. It also follows
upstream very closely, with upstream packages like libvirt and qemu
going straight into Rawhide without any significant patching.
So there isn't really much need for a Fedora+virt-specific list, since
almost any question should go upstream to one of the following lists:
-
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
-
https://libvirt.org/contact.html#email
-
http://wiki.qemu.org/MailingLists
-
https://libosinfo.org/communicate/
-
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
Or as a last resort if it really is a rare virt integration issue that
only affects to Fedora, then:
-
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users
-
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Can we kill the virt list?
At this point in time, I'd say yes.
FWIW, a little history.... many moons ago during development of the
Fedora Core 5 release, we created a fedora-xen(a)redhat.com mailing
list. Virtualization was all new and shiny and a total pain to actually
get running and develop against. So the fedora-xen mailing list was
useful to avoid deluging other mailing lists with Xen related topics.
Later when KVM came along, we created a fedora-virt mailing list, so
we didn't tie discussions just to Xen. These later moved from
redhat.com
to
fedoraproject.org mailman. The xen(a)lists.fedoraproject.org mailing
list actually still exists too, and has even less traffic than virt one!
Fast-forward 10 years.... virtualization is mainstream, almost seemlessly
integrated in Fedora, pretty much everyone knows about it and can get
it working with little effort. Thus the original rationale for having the
Fedora virt mailing list has pretty much gone away IMHO. There's no reason
not to just use the main Fedora developer/user mailing lists, and/or the
appropriate project upstream lists at this point.
