Hi Jeremy: Thank you for replying to my question. The reason for the renaming of the mailing list from openstack-personas to openstack-ux is as follows: (1) openstack personas effort started out focused on personas but it's really part of the overall openstack-ux efforts. (2) all members on openstack-personas are automatically part of openstack-ux efforts, and we've had some resistance from existing members to have to resubscribe to a new list and to keep using the existing list.
The analogy I would make to this is renaming [openstack-nova] to [openstack-dev] and being inclusive to all in the dev community and using [nova] in the subject line later to call out which services or areas the content is about. When you say disruptive, is it disruptive to all mailing list or only the openstack-personas mailing list? Our intent is we preserve our members and not put subscription burdens on them and also have a single mailing list for all UX activities and not have multiple mailing lists. Please advise.
