Well, Thomas' idea about a lists-l list for discussing mailing lists and
mailing list issues is new, so there is no issue of "still talking about
this" when the "this" you refer to isn't one of the issues that I raised.
Thomas - instead of just complaining about having meta discussions here -
is actually doing something productive, and proposes an interesting
solution to everybody's problems:

1) nobody likes me taking issue with non-Foundation issues here on
foundation-l,
2) but still my issues are legitimate and need to be addressed openly.
3) A lists-l list would be the perfect place to discuss
 a) blocks,
 b) issues with list admins,
 c) new list proposals,
 d) proposals to integrate or deprecate existing lists, etc.

Cary of course would run lists-l, and keeping list discussion there means
there would be no issues related to discussing meta ("off topic") issues
here. All that would show on here or on wikien-l is a pointer to the top
post in the thread on the lists-l archive, and everyone is happy.
