In that case please call the list xfstests - a name different by a
single character is utterly confusing.  And I defintively see some merit
to the suggestion that we'll just keep the x and allow people to come up
with a nice backronym for it if they care enough.

What is important is that we have a separate list for the filesystem
test suite we use, not whether the name has an "x" in or not.
Arguing about whether there should or should not be an 'x' in the
mailing list name is just a waste of time - it's not going to make
me change the name of the list....

Cheers,

Dave.
