No doubt.

But can anybody explain why the linux-kernel mailing list
(that has so much traffic that not many people will like to get it
in their mailbox) and the linux.dev.kernel newsgroup
(that is `nonstandard' and not carried at many sites)
aren't replaced by comp.os.linux.development.kernel ?

The news system is functioning well, and linux-kernel is flakey
(for me in .nl) with a turn-around time between two days and two weeks,
while many posts are entirely lost (as I deduce from seeing replies to
questions that never made it here).
