Would this be the same story we've been hearing ad nauseum for months, 
by any chance? That is, "Martin created a distro -> no-one's come to the 
party -> he's upset -> he's never going to contributing code -> he's 
unsubscribing"?

Can you please share for everyone here where the Russian/Ukrainian 
conflict falls in your spectrum of "off topic", exactly? Please do so in 
the context of an end-user discussion list for a Unix distribution.

You've done nothing to address the fact that other list members are 
sufficiently disturbed by Martin's conduct to also call for it to be 
off-topic.

Apparently the illumos folks saw this differently enough to do just 
that. I'd like to see the same happen here.
