[ACPI-sppt] merge acpi-support into acpi-devel?

[Len Brown]

It would make my life simpler if acpi-suport-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org were
merged into acpi-devel-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org and then disabled.

Does having two lists make life simpler for anybody?

thanks,
-Len

It would if acpi-devel weren't a de-facto support list.  If acpi-devel was
really just for developers, I'd just subscribe to acpi-support (which I may
do anyway, since I finally have a complete acpi implementation for my
Inspiron 2500 with kernel 2.4.22).  So far, I've been able to offer a little
advice to people on acpi-support, but everything that has helped _me_ I got
from acpi-devel.

So, unless somebody takes it upon themselves to tell every person who asks a
support-type question on acpi-devel to post on the correct list, I'd say
there's not much point for the separation.

For me, No. I think, the support mailing list, has more traffic and is
for newbies and some people who want try install acpi. They can get help
here.
The devel mailing list is for the people who want (try) help developing
acpi
When I had time I read the 2 lists, in other times I just read the devel
one. I clean up the other.

thanks
