Will the archives be permanently split?
Probably -- advanced mailman surgeries carry a high risk of fatal mistakes (e.g. we have a fancy pipermail URL alias, but the archive rebuild is causing URLs to change, or some such nonsense), so it's generally best to avoid them. But I'll ask Daniel Zahn, who's performed some trickier surgeries recently without fatalities (as far as I know).

I don't know if this makes sense, so I beg your patience for my ignorance. But would it be an option to duplicate the archive? Then both the old and the new links will work. It would be a Great Pity if the new list would not contain the archive of the old list.

Hi Lodewijk,
This is what Erik meant by "advanced mailman surgeries" - it's tricky business so it might not be possible, but I imagine they will still try!
