   According to my back-of-napkin calculations (looking at the number of archived messages in the past month, averaging it per day, and multiplying by number of subscribers):
   
   - vger.kernel.org delivers about 4.5 million messages per day
   - 70% of that is linux-kernel@vger, with about 3.2 million messages delivered per day
   - a very remote second is netdev@vger (300,000 messages delivered per day)
   - even a more remote third is kvm@vger (133,000 messages delivered per day)
   
   Current migration stats:
   
   Out of the total of 203 public vger lists:
   
   - 48 lists will be sunset (due to obsolescence/inactivity)
   - 40 lists are already migrated to new infra
   - 115 still reside on legacy infra
   
   The 40 migrated lists are about 788,000 messages daily, or ~20% of all traffic, so 80% of all mail traffic is still going through the legacy infra.
   
   I hope to complete all migrations by this holiday season.

     @monsieuricon

     sometimes I wonder if we still need LKML now that we have lore.kernel.org/all/

     * LKML is CCed on a lot of stuff, but a lot of stuff it's not, so it's not a "everything" list/archive

     * because so much is CCed on LKML it's impossible to read for nearly everyone, which makes it hard to see/follow stuff that has list/no better place.

     Or am I missing something here?
