-----Original Message----- From: Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org The testing effort is increasing throughout the community. The tests are generally merged into the subsystem trees, and are of relatively narrow interest. The patch volume on linux-kselftest@vger.kernel.org makes it hard to follow the changes to the framework, and discuss proposals.
Create a new ML for "all" of kselftests (tests and framework), replacing the old list. Use the old list for framework changes only. It would cause less churn to create a ML for just the framework, but I prefer to use the shorter name for the list which has much more practical use.
I'm not a fan of this split.
The approach taken seems like it would create a lot of churn. You have 2 kinds of developers - a) developers of the framework and b) developers of the tests themselves. Are you trying to shield framework developers from discussions about tests, or test developers from discussions about the framework? It seems like framework developers would be interested in seeing discussions about tests, and vice-versa.
I'm not sure a new list is needed, but if the discussion needs to be split, I think it would be better to create a new list for framework-only discussions, and leave the old list handling all (both framework and tests).
Like maybe have the new list be something like "linux-kselftest-core@vger.kernel.org"? -- Tim

Posting as an RFC because we need to create the new ML.
