If we split the lists I would tag= both with the same tag in my gmail box and read them all together, so it w= ouldn'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 discu= ssions.

The development list wouldn't be very interesting without the intense interaction that it now has with users. The org list seems unique in
this, at least for the lists that I have sometimes monitored.

I take your point about the tags, however. No happy answer to any of
this.
