mailman3.

I’ve deferred the mailman3 transition again, likely until just after the 
IETF 119 meeting.

The rate of additional issues identified by analysis over the last week 
indicates that making the full transition now would likely disrupt 
pre-meeting communication.

To avoid that disruption, we will be making some incremental changes to 
the system that should have no discernible effect on the current alias 
and mailman2 list processing. These changes will let us better prepare 
for both the mailman3 integration with our specialized message rewriting 
and the transition into mailman3 for list owners and moderators.

The first of these incremental changes will occur early next week, on 
Feb 20. Again, there should be no discernible effect on the current 
alias and mailman2 processing, but should you experience something 
unexpected, let us know at [e-mail] (or [e-mail] 
if you need a rapid remedy).
