It could also involve those NOT interested in the server aspects, as some of 
the biggest threads are server related.  I am such a one.  Personally, I 
could do without most of the kernel discussion as well, as I use a kernel.org 
self-compiled kernel and no initrd (altho I've been following the 2.5/2.6 
discussion with interest, trying to decide when I want to switch), and 
without the install stuff for the most part, since I constantly upgrade.  
Thus, I support the general idea of a split, as it would certainly make life 
a bit easier for me.  However, I understand enough of the practical 
implications to know a split might not work that well in practice, even for 
me.  Still, the idea of having servers and install on separate lists which I 
can ignore, and kernel on a list which I can filter more intensely and check 
maybe weekly rather than almost daily, IS pretty enticing.
