[Vorbis-dev] Cleanup: Killing the old XSPF mailing list?

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

Ivo,

xspf is a community and even if it's part of the xiph community, it
doesn't mean it has to all be centrally managed. In fact, I've always
been a strong believer in decentralisation. Also, the subcommunity
works well as it is.

I don't believe it is up to any centralisation believes to make a
decision on how the subcommunity should be run. I'm sure that when
musicbrainz withdraws support, we can still move the mailing list
without major efforts.

Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Cheers,
Silvia.
