This list (or where it moves to) will most likely be more active in the future
with a lot more focus. And there will be a lot more development that takes
place on this (where now it can occur on the avalon-dev list aswell). So we
are only going to get a better environment IMO.

Because those same individuals have vote and commit privlidges on phoenix. And
thus people who have never participated in the development of Phoenix can
block changes in phoenix if it conflicts or competes with their pet toolkit
(this has happened in the past and will happen again if we stay). Progressing
to a TLP essentially removes that risk.

It will basically give Phoenix a lot more exposure and give the Phoenix
developers a lot more room to do what needs to be done to make sure Phoenix
continues to provide a good "user" experience and all that ;)
