Here's a simple description of how i use and see the -hackers list. I'm
what you could call a "silent reader", like many other subscribers i
don't participate to the discussions but i'm happy to be able to follow
them. I'm not an end-user and i'm not a developper. Just a guy that
wants to follow the "making-of" this project.
Sure the traffic is huge and sometimes i have thousands of unread
messages. But somewhat i managed to follow the threads i'm interested in
and leave asides others...
If this list is split in two smaller ones, then i guess i'll follow both
and it won't help me in any way. I guess it would even make things more
difficult to understand.
This is my modest experience. Clearly things can be improved, but
speaking for myself i don't think that splitting the list is a good idea.
