The unwritten social contract of the purpose of our mailing lists IMHO is: Low frequency discussion of subjects which are *very* important and thus must reach even the participants who are too busy to read the high volume daily traffic of IRC. This cannot be provided by FMS: It requires running and maintaining Freenet and FMS itself, with a very high uptime of "run it every day for at least some hours". That is too much hassle, we cannot expect it from e.g. computer scientists who participate in the mailing lists for noticing scientific discussions about the network. Those people don't actually always want to *run* Freenet, they're in for the science - which happens to be among the most valuable contributions, so we must not neglect their desires :| Also, the "*very* important subjects" aspect means that the lists must work even if Freenet is broken due to e.g. an attack - another reason against FMS.
