OK, let's talk about lists today

This leaves a gap as FC2 gets released sometime in early May. FC2
discussions then move to fedora-list, fedora-test-list becomes quiet for
a while (till FC3 test1 emerges), and what happens to all the FC1
discussion? Still on fedora-list?

Yes. Just like "redhat-list" where people posted questions about *any* stable release of Red Hat Linux, "fedora-list" is for questions about any stable release of Fedora Core. So when FC2 is released, both FC1 and FC2 are valid discussion points on fedora-list. The commonality of experience is enough that many people benefit from having both on a single forum.


"fedora-test-list" is for questions about any test releases, but of course if you want to run a test release it makes little sense to run anything except the latest release, so discussions can focus more on specific bugs and issues with said release.

That being said, the community *could* decide to keep fedora-list as the general list for any stable Fedora Core release, then additionally create a yarrow-list specifically for FC1 users and another list specifically for FC2 users. Seemed to work fine in previous years... I was always subscribed to the general redhat-list and also the specific lists (shrike-list, valhalla-list, etc.) related to the versions I had in use.
