I'd like to third Lewis's comment as well as second Mike's comment.

Yep.

Just about everything I see beyond basic How To / README references 
Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control mailing list.

I think closing the list will end up accelerating bit rot and be a 
dis-service to many people in the community.

I have been active on the LARTC mailing list for for years / decades.

For a long time the mailing list ended up having extremely high 
(O(days)) latency between sending a message and it ending up passing 
through the mailing list.  I think that hurt the LARTC mailing list 
quite a bit.  But it's recovered somewhat since.

I absolutely agree.
