Because the point was that forums, while their proponents feel is
the next best thing since sliced bread, don't actually get very much
traffic.  There's far too many projects out there (Sourceforge,
anyone?) which have died due to the dearth of people checking the
forum for posts.

Note that the mailing list is archived in several different places,
and everything is indexed by Google.  If the one provider hosting a
forum has a catastrophic failure, there isn't much in the way of
backups.
