+1 to everything Roland said (I'm deleting
general@lists.openfabrics.org from my addressbook after sending this).

I'd suggest making a clean break -- on 1 Oct, make "general@lists.openfabrics.org
" autoreply with something like "This list has moved; please re-send
your message to linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org" or somesuch.
