List separation like that can be a bad thing, as conversations get 
fragmented, crossposting occurs, etc, etc...  If _ANYTHING_ I'd allow 
for a -devel list, but honestly, what would be discussed on the general 
-list ?  We aren't here for general support on the product, RH already 
has lists for that.  Package update announcements are made through the 
-announce list... what else is there?
