If list traffic, especially on -hackers, is getting so large, should we
look at maybe splitting it? I could easily enough split things such that
I duplicate the subscriber list, so nobody would have to subscribe, but it
would make it easier for ppl to filter their incoming ... ?
Not sure where the split would be, mind you ... almost thinking about
patch review / discussions vs hashing out new features or something like
that ...
Just a thought ...
