It looks to me like it's time.  Will c.u.bsd still have enough traffic
to make it a viable group?  I think so.  Discussions on the 68k port,
stuff on NET/2 (including the pending legal action) should keep it
ticking along - and I think quite a few people will be happy NOT to have
to skip the 386BSD/BSDI386-related discussions.  I can't understand why,
though ;-)
