Why is the old dvb (linux-dvb) mailing list still alive?

One of the arguments migrating all dvb related stuff to this combined ml 
was to reduce overhead.
But in fact some information might be lost now, since not everybody will 
look at both ML's.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to close the old ml now / is this foreseen at 
all?

Well, the old linux-dvb list forwards all messages to the new list, so
no information is actually lost.  However, this does often result in
multiple posts with the same content, since the auto-reply message
sent back to users posting to linux-dvb often leads them to think the
message wasn't delivered.

That said, I think enough time has gone by where we can finally just
drop the linux-dvb mailing list.
