As far as I am concerned, Usenet died, unfortunately, about 15 years ago.
I think you are insulting Google to say they are Usenet in disguise ;-)

Well, more or less - yes - I was thinking of a sister mailing list to
Linux-IL, which will have a similar collection of people, but a
different topic of discussion.

I'm not sure how people feel about the linux-il list being "overtaken"
by Android-specific discussions. In my opinion, as long as the discussion 
continues to be about development, about free software, and so on, it is
fine, and I'm not opposed to Linux-il being official declared "Linux and
Android". But I wonder if that's what everyone thinks. I'm also not sure
what's the downside of opening a second list for Android.

If I remember correctly, linux-il was founded in 1994. At the time,
Linux's ubiquity was also yet to be seen ;-)
