[U-Boot] Subject line tag differences "U-Boot-Users vs. U-Boot" between the two U-Boot mailing list servers

That's intentional, as the new  list's  name  is  "u-boot"  (and  not
"u-boot-users"  any more. I felt the "-users" part was wrong, as this
list is at least as much intended for developers.

This is not necessary. Threading should continue to work even when you
continue on the new list. Same holds for the archive, I hope (but this
has not been recovered yet).

Actually it means what it says.

NO, this should be avoided. Please STOP posting to the SF list!

Do not send messages to the old list any more, please.
