Don't let the names confuse you. You want to have the developers in
the same place as users, otherwise you're going to

 - get bad answers in the 'support' list, as the real experts are elsewhere
 - get developers out of touch with real issues

It's all about fostering a good, positive community around the school
server. It's _not_ about labels. If you want, I'm happy to support
renaming 'server-devel' to 'server'.

Even for large communities, it's more positive and productive to split
things along interest lines than across "users" and "developers".

cheers,
