That means, for everyone not wanting to miss on relevant development,
to subscribe to two lists? And then people will cross-post, and
subsequent posters will partially forget to Cc the other list - and
folks previously only subscribed to the dev-list will either miss half
of the discussion, or are forced to subscribe to the firehose.

What is the actual advantage then, except causing disruption and pain,
and having everyone and her grandma subscribe two lists instead of
one? ;)

I'm _entirely_ unconvinced this is a good idea. And if in doubt, I'd
always prefer *not* creating more silos.
