As far as I can tell, splitting a list into -dev and -user lists tends to drive the quality of the -user list down. The people with actual knowledge about the topic ask themselves: "Why do I keep answering questions from clueless noobs, while all the action I care about happens on another list?" and end up leaving the list altogether. I think that as long as the traffic on this list remains manageable, we should keep everything as-is.
