Merge linuxppc-embedded with linuxppc-dev

Merge linuxppc-embedded with linuxppc-dev

[Grant Likely]

Jeremy,

Can we eliminate the linuxppc-embedded mailing list and merge it with
linuxppc-dev?  I don't think we need two separate lists anymore and
patches to linuxppc-embedded don't always get dealt with.

Anyone have any objections to eliminating linuxppc-embedded?

See!  My point proven!  That list just causes confusion.  :-)

Oops.  I've cc'd the linuxppc-embedded list now.  Sorry to all the
non-powerpc linux-embedded folks for the noise.

I agree.  Given the fact that most active embedded people are already
watching the linuxppc-dev list.  It's a good idea for embedded people
not having to subscribe two lists.  But I don't know if non-embedded
people would like this idea.

That's not really up to me - more of a community question I think. I 
imagine Paul would have the final decision though.

Cheers,

I'm pretty sure I saw paul gripe about this on irc just the other day.

My vote is to kill linuxppc-embedded.

I also think one list will suffice nowadays.

I liked not having to deal w/ all of the desktop/Cell traffic, but I
have to be signed up for both lists to watch all of it anyways since
some embedded never made it to the -embedded list.=20

So my vote is "Yes" as well.

I also vote to kill the separate embedded list.  It has such low  
traffic, and it seems like a lot of messages end up cross-posted to  
linuxppc-dev, anyway.

I also watch both lists.
A merge seems like a good idea.
