Well, my concerns would be:

1. either, we wouldn't get old archives in hyperkitty if we renamed the list

or 2) old links to archives would break 3) people's mail filters will break.

But maybe we can solve those problems somehow?

With the switch for the Board -> Council lists, Kevin left the old archives in place _and_ migrated them to the new list, solving 1 and 2. However, #3 would be unavoidable - although, with enough warning, not necessarily a problem. People might want to update their filters and subscriptions anyway. (And, for that matter, going to Mailman 3 will break many people's filters no matter what, since many of the header names and formats changed.)
