Re: [Printing-architecture] RFC: Moving the printing-architecture list

Hi Konstantin,

I strongly prefer the first option with other regular developer Linux
lists.  Most of our
traffic is from developers.  And the automatic redirect from the old list
and for old
threads is very important.

Cheers,
