Yes. Just like "redhat-list" where people posted questions about *any*
stable release of Red Hat Linux, "fedora-list" is for questions about any
stable release of Fedora Core. So when FC2 is released, both FC1 and FC2
are valid discussion points on fedora-list. The commonality of experience
is enough that many people benefit from having both on a single forum.
"fedora-test-list" is for questions about any test releases, but of course
if you want to run a test release it makes little sense to run anything
except the latest release, so discussions can focus more on specific bugs
and issues with said release.
That being said, the community *could* decide to keep fedora-list as the
general list for any stable Fedora Core release, then additionally create a
yarrow-list specifically for FC1 users and another list specifically for
FC2 users. Seemed to work fine in previous years... I was always subscribed
to the general redhat-list and also the specific lists (shrike-list,
valhalla-list, etc.) related to the versions I had in use.
