My only real concern was this part of the blog post:

"The mailman archives on the LLVM server may eventually be removed,
but there is no final decision or deadline on this yet."

I hope that doesn't happen, as it would break a lot of links into the
archives, and I think preserving the history of the project is
important. Since it would just be static content at that point,
hopefully hosting it is worth the effort.

I see no reason to remove them right now and we may never have a reason.
It's just disk space on a server.  This would for sure be discussed in
detail to understand the ramifications of it before a change was made. I think I
was just trying to avoid saying we would never remove them… because I didn’t
want that set in stone either.
