The historical reasons for merging the cygwin and cygwin-xfree lists no
longer seems to exist so I am contemplating merging the two lists.

If anyone has a compelling reason why this should not happen please send
it to one of the two lists.  If I don't hear a coherent argument against
doing this, I'll throw the switch over the weekend.

Btw, I'm only mildly sympathetic to arguments like "It will be more
email for me".  I'm more concerned with having to constantly shuttle
people back and forth between the two lists.  Unless there is a
compelling argument to the contrary, I think that the fact that people
are confused about which list to use outweighs the increase in email
traffic for people who just want to hear about cygwin/x.
