Change in mailing list configuration

[Christian Willmes]

As far as I understood it, the mailing list will continue to work as is 
in the future? And discourse is only a mirror or an additional interface 
for those who prefer to communicate via this app?

I will not use the discourse app, if this mailing list stops its 
service, I am out of the conversation as well.

Thanks and best regards
Christian

As far as I see it these developments are mainly driven by corporations who pursue the political goal of destroying independent email infrastructure, and I would have hoped the OS community to resist those developments instead of happily nodding along.
