The real problem will be to split at the right place - to define the role of each list in a way that will make it very clear to people that want to post, what's the best list to use. This isn't easy at all. OTOH, if we have, say, discussion@, and keep the existing users@ and devel@, and someone posts to users@, and I think it should attract people on discussion@, it's much easier to move the discussion there, instead of starting to think who specifically I might want to Cc so that they notice. >
