I echo what Pete has to say here.

I, for one, will not be using a Discourse forum.  The entire appeal of
a mailing list is the ability to digest and handle messages as I
please, not to fiddle around in a web page trying to find what I'm
looking for.

Ten days notice when even the mailing list moderator is unaware is not
in any way reasonable.  It is a clear sign that this issue has not,
despite assertions to the contrary, been discussed properly.
