This came up recently in other conversations as well, the thinking was that as a sig matures and has community traction we can split lists away to be more sig focused. I'd imagine the entire Cloud / virt / hypervisor SIGs could start from the centos-virt list as homebase and then branch out. Having said that, most of the content on the centos-virt list at the moment IS xen specific. regards, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
