Re: [orca-list] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022

I mean the archives will still be there. But that's also down to a lack 
of info out there. I have to ig through pages of search to get anything 
useful, or look for extremely specific stuff and often get (thank you 
Google and/or DG) out of date and old info first however before newer 
information, or just a black hole where information should really be. 
It's not documented anywhere other than this list. If someone were to 
take every single message on the list and make a domain out of it, put 
every message on an HTML page, and let Google, DDG, Bing, etc, crawl it 
I feel that'd help a lot with retaining that knowledge however.
