what will become of this Google group?

[Christopher J Peikert]

I noticed that "Posting to cryptanalyti...@googlegroups.com
will be disabled soon," and on the group website I just noticed a note
that says "2017.12 update: I'm moving this group off Google."

It is possible to delete a Google group so that all the archived
messages are permanently removed, not searchable, etc. (
https://support.google.com/groups/answer/2646833?hl=en ). Do the
administrator(s) of this group intend *not* to delete it? If so, will
they please make a public announcement to that effect here?

Thanks, and sincerely yours in cryptography,
Chris
