Well, there's a tradeoff to be made between having a few busy lists
and having a lot of low-traffic ones.  The latter is hardly nirvana,
since you have the problems of fragmented discussions (or else a
lot of cross-posting) as well as a greatly increased risk of misplaced
postings.

I think the general feeling (at least at the developer meeting where
this was discussed) is that we've erred too far in the second direction
and need to pull back a bit.
