I would prefer not merging node-devel with arch/devel.  Node is breaking 
away from being just an oVirt project, so having a separate devel list 
is good for us.  I'll make sure that we include the general devel 
mailing list on oVirt related things, but in general, our stuff is much 
more node specific and not general ovirt related.
