Not exactly. Fedora-packaging was a list space tossed up to
discuss/create an authoritative packaging guideline for
Core/Extras/Legacy/etc.. Again, smaller the number of participants w/
stakes the faster decisions can be made and implemented. Not all the
maintainers are interested in such discussion, so why add noise? A lot
of maintainers just want a guideline to be created, so they can follow
it. Different topics.
Personally, I like that the lists for Fedora are being clearly
segregated. This allows me to keep better track of the subjects I
actually care about by subscribing only to those lists. Big general
lists mean that I have to sift through tons of email I care not about to
find (and usually miss) something I DO care about.
