It's not about response time, it's about the fact that we finally got
kerne.org funded via the LF to pay for someone to run our mailing list 
infrastructure so we no longer have to do it ourselves.  We've already
transferred the containers mailman list and vger is going to be
migrated to it soon.  The new infrastructure comes with HA and a whole
host of backend CDN data centres in various geographies and public
inbox backing, so it should be quite slick.
