Question: is the [email protected] mailing list still useful? =20

  * It has 250 subscribers compared to 850 for ghc-users. =20
  * It has low traffic
  * template-haskell is the only GHC-specific mailing list associated with =
a particular
    language feature.  Eg type functions, ghci, etc do not have their own l=
ist
  * The traffic on ghc-users is not dauntingly high.

I suggest we abolish it in favour of ghc-users.  Any dissenters?  (I'd emit=
 a warning, so that people could check they are subscribed to ghc-users.)
