Common sense.
The list moderators read this list but not fedora-list.

To be honest, I lost intrest in the debate that went on in this list
not because it was asking ethical question but because it devolved
into a group of non-lawyers posting theirs opinions on a legal matter,
all the while comparing writing Free Software to stabbing and shooting
people.

Since fedora-list is a general list, I think it makes perfect sense that
topics that make up a significant amount of its trafic should get
promoted to its own list. I'm sorry you feel otherwise.
