It is a matter of nomenclature. It falls in to both the blanket
virtualization category and in to the category of actively developed
sub-arch. The -ppc, -mips, -arm, -amd64, -i386, -sparc64, and -sun4v
mailing lists are all very low traffic (less traffic than I
anticipate) and thus, by your reasoning, could all be merged in to a
-machdep list. In the event that that happens I will happily redirect
traffic there.

Cheers,
Kip
