  Looks like it works... I didn't know it's not archived (at least not
officially, don't underestimate subscribers which might archive their
folders:)

  Well, i have anonymous CVS access only, so I can't say much about
that:) As far as I understand, k-d is silent because of something _bad_
happened to it. This mailing list is silent because ... (my imagination
follows) not everyone from k-d knows about that and also -- what
once stopped, doesn't come back easily again.

  We'll see, I would like if this debate continued a bit longer and came
up with reasonable solution, if possible. The bigger gap there will be
between hh.org and linux-arm, the harder will it be to reach the
bleeding edge of development again.

  Ok, I will try to help as much as I can. I'll be waiting for your
update.
