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.
