I am going to vote that you please do not CC all of this to arch-general.
Many of us are not concerned with this, and already this afternoon I've seen
enough mail regarding it that I can see it as a problem. The arch-security
list has been denied, and it seems to me all this is doing is trying to
circumvent the denial. Your google group is your business, but I feel that
forwarding to arch-general, the most popular list we have, is unfair to
those who do not wish to be involved.
