We also discussed and summarily dismissed that concept in the past.

I think we should put together an archive of all the past "10 year rule"
threads and put them on a website somewhere. Then, whenever someone
(inevitably) brings this up we can refer them to the website.

Members of this mailing list need to realize that this list has been
around now for 6.5 years, and it's always been like this, and it probably
always will (well, with the exception of the CCTALK/CCTECH split, which I
ignore anyway). No matter how many times it's argued over, the consensus
will be that we just don't want to discuss 10 year old PCs or Windows.
