Hi Neil, We've been through this a number of times in the past, with mixed views. In my opinion, if we split the lists we're going to greatly increase the load on the current contributors and the number of postings will actually increase for me and those who respond to questions since there will be many cross-postings. It will take me and the others who actually respond to questions longer to handle the increased load and since some users are not going to be on all the lists we will have to handle the same questions on all the lists.
For example, if I answer a user question on castor-xml-dev, all those on castor-xml-user won't receieve the answer and vice-versa for all the lists...so the same questions will be asked and answered far more often causing increased messages. That's just my opinion however...I see nightmares of never getting any coding done because I am too busy with list-overload, of course I may be over reacting, but this has been my past experience when I was more involved with some of the projects over at Apache. I don't think the current sifting through messages on one list is too bad, usually you can tell from the subject line if the question is for Castor JDO, Castor XML, or both.
