The rationale is that in 2012 we have better ways to send announcements 
out: blogs, RSS, twitter, G+, newsletters, etc. Besides, the list 
hasn't been used for months and nobody complained for the lack of 
content.

In any case, my  idea is to replace the list with a newsletter: people 
interested in receiving regular updates (like the weekly newsletter I 
send out) will subscribe there.
