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
