Re: outages list badly broken, flooding messages

[virendra rode via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

I want to sincerely apologize for the current state, this situation
should not have unfolded in this manner. Our original intention was to
conduct a gradual migration to minimize any disruption to the list.
However, given the persistent challenges we’ve encountered with PUCK
(Mailman), we are now opting for a decisive big bang cutover to ensure
we move forward effectively and efficiently.

Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this transition.

I will provide additional updates soon.
