Yeah I've thought similar for a long while too. So I'm for it. I'll leave a
bit more time for discussion but if nothing changes I'll close the list next week.
One week - do you want to close the list or should I? Dan suggested a
method to use here:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2015-September/004295.html
I was also interested in whether any web pages reference this list. I
think just these ones:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization#News
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository#Contact
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt
