Most of my mailman lists are run off a CentOS 6 box, have done for a long time,
quite stable.

CentOS 8 will (is expected to) be out later this year; when that happens I will
upgrade the whole machine - before CentOS 6 EOLs.

CentOS 8 will have the version of Python need to support MM3, so I will upgrade
and copy over my lists at that point. I am expecting that there will be a few
issues (there always are) but will give me some new abilities; based on quick
browsing of the MM3 docs I will be able to keep rosta information in an SQL
database rather than a Python pickle; this will let me do interesting things
like easy interface with other subsystems.
