[PATCH] add new cgroup list to CC notice

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

As discussed at Kernel Summit(2011), new cgroups mailing list is opened by
James. This list is for discussing general cgroup design and patches
including all subsystems and for getting more attentions to cgroups/namespaces
related issues by developpers.

I don't see the point to unilaterally change the mailing list to 
vger.kernel.org as the discussions will be  the same as the actual 
mailing list containers@. May be there is a good reason to do that but I 
don't see it, can someone enlight me please ?

I know containers@ and subscribing it.

Maybe this article is good.
http://lwn.net/Articles/464288/

I think there are cgroups not-for-container but total view/interaction
are required. someones may use cgroup just as resource controller (as libvirt,
systemd) and not be intereted in container itself.

I personally think cgroups@ is a straightforward name to kernel developpers. 

Thanks,

It's not a unilateral list change.  We will still have containers@lf.

The problem is that not all cgroup related stuff goes over it ...
particularly the currently active controller discussions tend not to be
cc'd there.  With systemd (and things like the I/O controllers for
xen/kvm), cgroups is seen as being wider than containers.

The desire was for a single list where someone could go to get an
overall view of what's going on in cgroups ... particularly if you're a
confused subsystem maintainer who just had a request to put a controller
in your subsystem ...

Ok, thanks for the clarification. May I suggest to create also a 
namespace@ mailing list ?
