Why not? This was the intention from the beginning on. We agreed that we

So, let's see how many users ask for support here. When the number gets
tooo high we can create a new users@ mailing list and add this on the
old OOo website.
You are cheating. :-)
No users will appear on this list - why should they? They have not been
asked to post here and asking them to post here doesn't make sense anway.
So the measure "we need a new list when there is demand on the dev-list"
can't be applied here.
No problem, the text to invite also them can be changed.
I would be fine with dropping end user mail support completely if the
"regulars" of the current ooo user list(s) agreed to that (at least a
majority) and if we had enough people that give support in the web forum
we might want to use instead.
A forum is also my favorite way of support.
IMHO mailing lists and the average user aren't compatible.
