Why?

Yes, this list is high volume.
Yes, sometimes it is hard to follow.

OTOH, most questions are Linux related and not specific to a single
release.  Using separate lists would greatly reduce the numbers of
assistants who can answer questions and/or may mean no one is available
to help if the question is asked on a single list.

It is both educational for me and gives me an opportunity to help by
being a single list.  If it were multiple lists I would not participate
in all because of time constraints and the version I use.  A loss to me,
and likely a loss to others as well.
