They're a random mix of user content and developer content. I'll probably move them along with -general but that means I won't be likely to see any development discussion on them in the future

We know from experience that doesn't work. People just end up
crossposting, because they're not sure people are on both lists. And
then you want to move a discussion, which just means you have to CC in
both lists, leading to even more duplication.
If there was a clear distinction between end-user and dev it might
make sense. That how commercial software companies tend to work -
don't let devs talk to end users. That's not how we work. Forcing
people to look in different places just throws hurdles in front of
those trying to help out.
