I think this could have been handled a bit better.  By "turned off
soon", I would have expected a couple of days to allow people to read
this mail and take some action.  Instead, the mails were disabled by
simon@ 7 hours after this mail.

IMHO, the src list migration was handled more cleanly - peter@ just
copied the cvs-all and cvs-src list members over to svn-src-all and
shortly after, created a cvs-src-old to allow people time to convert
any scripts that processed CVS commits.  See
