|  Why do you compare [email protected] to [email protected] and not
|  [email protected] ?

That's simple.
<[email protected]> was merged with Xpert list to  <[email protected]>
People who were subscribed to Render list, found difficult to follow XFree86 
ML and unsubscribed.

Questions discussed on <[email protected]> are too generic, too.
Plus just a few people subscribed, as list hasn't been widely advertised.
I followed Render list as it was related to font technologies and rendering of 
vector graphics.
But, hopefully, there is a XSVG <[email protected]> mailing list now, so it's not 
a problem (for me) anymore.
But this is certanly a good indication how unfriendly to users & developers 
can be some decisions of XFRee86 Core team. :-(
