I think we should. It will be easy to filter and give due importance to usage questions and help users on priority. Another reason is that the users by default look for users list to ask for usage questions, not having one can be confusing for them. It will also make easier for users to search for existing usage questions and even subscribe to it without being dumped with all the JIRA updates. If there are no disadvantages to bifurcating the mailing lists then I believe we shouldn't wait for the community to be large to ensure this discipline.
