Better link: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2022-10/msg00008.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2022-10/msg00008... If this wasn’t LWN, I’d call it “blogspam”, but I know LWN does this to have their own archive which they can link to. But this does not mean that there’s any good reason for anyone outside of LWN to use LWN’s copy of the announcement, unless the original link had gone stale or something.

They're both just mailing list archives; and HN has never really preferred one archive over another; even one when is "first party". Heck, most LKML posts get posted as lkml.iu.edu or lwn.net; rather than lore.kernel.org or lkml.org.

  LWN is not a general mailing list archive; AFAIK, LWN only archives the posts which they want to link to in an accompanying or related article. LWN does not, AFAIK, archive every post on, in this case, the info-gnu list.

    I had been under the impression that LWN does archive the entire ML; but it seems that I was mistaken and that you are correct.
