If list traffic, especially on -hackers, is getting so large, should we 
look at maybe splitting it?  I could easily enough split things such that 
I duplicate the subscriber list, so nobody would have to subscribe, but it 
would make it easier for ppl to filter their incoming ... ?

Not sure where the split would be, mind you ... almost thinking about 
patch review / discussions vs hashing out new features or something like 
that ...

Just a thought ...
