I Hi Julien, No, I disagree with that. The two lists would have distinct compositions of the reader audience and that does have downsides. For example, - Those participating in a USER thread cannot rely to the same extent on DEVs listening, or as easily direct comments to DEVs, without messy cross-postings. DEV threads often start life as USER threads; that trajectory would be disrupted. - The probability of pure USERs learning DEV skills is reduced, since they have to actively seek the DEV list. I'm another one who came to Org as a USER with no abilities in elisp programming.
