19 Is there an gentoo-x86 ML ? I'd think that would be an excellent
20 addition to our current structure. We already have mailing lists for the
21 other archs, why not x86? I know that x86 is the biggest user for
22 Gentoo, but if we need to get out x86 specific stuff, I'd think an x86
23 ML would be ideal. Thoughts?
