They are hardly connected, really.

They're managed on separate servers, and there isn't any sort of gatewaying
between them, except insofar as one might simultaneously post to both (as
you and I have both just done).

I agree; there is not any particular value or need to unsubscribe from the
old list.

At some point, there will be a final message, hopefully an intentional
"This Is The Final Message" one, and the old list will be turned off, no
more postings allowed.  (Sorta nice if messages "bounce" in some meaningful
way as opposed to disappearing into the aether, alas, I don't imagine that
would be easy to test, particularly as there's very little maintenance
going on in the elder environment.)
