$0.02 from an ARM developer/subarch maintainer.

I for one will be happy to see the list move to vger.

Over the years, I have had numerous headaches with the filters causing
delays or rejects in postings, particularily when using automated
tools like 'quilt mail' or 'git send-email.'  While things have
improved, it has still caused headaches that I have never had with
other lists.
