It's not a unilateral list change.  We will still have containers@lf.

The problem is that not all cgroup related stuff goes over it ...
particularly the currently active controller discussions tend not to be
cc'd there.  With systemd (and things like the I/O controllers for
xen/kvm), cgroups is seen as being wider than containers.

The desire was for a single list where someone could go to get an
overall view of what's going on in cgroups ... particularly if you're a
confused subsystem maintainer who just had a request to put a controller
in your subsystem ...
