I think that if it was kept as a single list the use of tags could allow (as
long as people respect the tags) to filter and read only the types of
threads they want to use.

If we split the lists I would tag both with the same tag in my gmail box and
read them all together, so it wouldn't really appear to be any different for
me other than the people only reading dev tags or on the dev channel
wouldn't see the user discussions.
