I fired off the e-mail before reading other responses. I should point
out that while Julien is right that Devs can read the user list as
well, I'm not certain that users would read the dev list if they were
split. I certainly avoided most dev discussions on other lists, but
I've learned a lot from org-mode. But, I'm only one data point...

Again, I spoke prematurely. Is it possible to funnel dev traffic to
the user list, so subscriptions look like this?

| mail source | mail receipt       |

| dev list    | dev and user lists |
