it's better if admin right is at some discussion related
organization. (e.g. in case anything happens to H.J.Lu)

the contents cannot be accessed with an http or https client.

some of us tend to browse the web from terminal (== no js).

redirects me to
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/x32-abi/IHmCJvigOEg/TyjZJYZ63DMJ

i didn't know about this raw url, it seems there is
https://groups.google.com/forum/print/msg/x32-abi/IHmCJvigOEg/TyjZJYZ63DMJ
too, so if i always change the urls i can browse the archive.
(this is not discoverable without js as far as i can see)
with the +subscribe@ and the raw msg options i'm no longer
against google groups hosting public discussions (provided
the project documents these somewhere), i still prefer more
accessible alternatives though.
