Yeah, the absence of Mailman is a bummer. I tried and spent more time on 
trying to build an EL9 version than I'd like to admit. But it is what it 
is. If there ever is a solution to this (like a third party Mailman RPM 
that works on EL9) it'll be back in a heartbeat, though. Until then: No 
Mailman on 5211R.

Porting of the new GUI to 5210R is a real option and not *that* much 
work. It's still a pile, but more a mole hill than a mountain.

As said above: I'll be busy with ISO building, porting of shop 
applications to 5211R and probably some more bugfixes for the next 
couple of weeks, but I guess as soon as January I can start on porting 
the new GUI back to 5210R.

There is one issue, though: It'll rock the boat. When we publish this 
and even if it's the smoothest YUM update in the history of BlueOnyx: 
It'll at least break all GUI pages of Shop purchased PKGs until these 
PKGs have been updated through NewLinQ.

So this will need some proper planning and testing.
