It's me here too. None of my machines run WBEL anymore. According to
the site there is a WBEL 5 in progress, but I have to say that taking
into account that this is a not completely alive nor completely dead

Anyway it's nice to see this list is still alive. In fact it was a
surprise to receive this mail cause I think I unsubscrived myself some
time ago :)
