But TUHS is clearly meant to be a Unix history list, not a "list about
new systems where we can ask about history because that helps us build
those new systems". In that sense, I'm not looking for COFF or a retro
or classic computer list, either, but for something explicitly modern
yet informed by history.
I don't believe such a thing actually exists.
I’m not aware of one. May be comp.arch comes close. Any new list
will have difficulty attracting the right kind of people. TUHS, COFF are
rather unix oriented. If you mean *software systems*, I suspect the
field is still too green to have a proper systematic analysis or
established engineering principles. We still seem to be in the “Cambrian
explosion” phase where every new complex system is a new species.
