Yeah. And the archive's empty. And it uses the almost
always meaningless prefix "cyber" over and over in
many predictable (but meaningless) ways.

There is a draft [1] though (from a pointer sent to
the saag list). Mind you that includes this sentence:
"Threat Actors and Intrusion Sets are constantly
advancing at an increasing rate relative to cyber
defense."

So that's all bad signs IMO then (except for the
existence of the draft.)

I'm also a bit sad that we've gotten to the point
where we're setting up lists driven to any extent
by what's really an ill-defined marketing buzzword.

OTOH, the goal according to [1] is an information
model, so it could be mostly to totally harmless I
guess;-)

Only other thing to note is that this happens so
often (new list for who knows what) that maybe the
tooling's a bit wrong and encourages folks to ok
or ask for lists without considering that others
don't have the same (or any) context.

Cheers,
S.
