If you were only following linuxppc-embedded, then you were missing
most of the embedded traffic.  It has been a long time that most
embedded related messages have been going to linuxppc-dev instead of
linuxppc-embedded.

Yes, but even that is misleading.  Sure most of the traffic on
linuxppc-embedded was xilinx traffic; but even more xilinx traffic is
on linuxppc-dev.  Following only linuxppc-embedded doesn't give you
the whole picture.
