Reasons for this decision include: - the level of traffic on the cygwin-xfree list is low - splitting the traffic in this way currently serves no useful purpose - the distinction between what is and is not an X issue is artificial, vague, and often ignored The cygwin-xfree list will continue to operate, but I suggest and encourage you to use the main cygwin list for all your cygwin X server and X application related questions, bug reports, moans, gripes, whines and patches ;-). The Cygwin X website and documentation will be updated to point to the main cygwin list. Mail delivery for the cygwin-xfree list may be turned off at some future date, but even if that happens, the list archives will continue to be available. Live Long and Prosper, Jon -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer
