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.
