The discussion was that most of us are filtering out oe-devel to the things we
care about.. and thus missing architectural discussions..

Architectural being more then just meta-openembedded, or oe-core... but layer
index, and other things affecting the overall infrastructure and architecture of
OpenEmbedded.

At this point, I think a new list is the best answer..  while I don't really
want a new list -- the reality is without it a lot of us are going to miss
relevant discussions.
