Sure, if we have distinctions which make sense then having separate lists makes sense. Linux has separate lists for different drivers, different parts of the kernel, projects to improve the kernel in various specific ways (latency, etc). I'm all for having a list dedicated to infrastructure (oddly named -www here)
Actually, infrastructure is appropriately discussed on -sysadmins ... web is on -www ... tends to be a bit of overlap since -sysadmins was added later, and prior to that we did discuss on -www ...
since those topics are usually well defined. Lists like -ecpg or -odbc would work fine if the traffic warranted them.
I don't agree with the comment about 'if traffic warranted them' though ... the fact that there is very little traffic should be what makes them attractive / useful ... you don't have to weed through alot of posts to find the odbc/ecpg related ones ...
Perhaps what I'm looking for is a more sensible division that allows most of the traffic related to the subtopics to actually go there. It would have to be a division so clearcut that anyone who doesn't follow could reasonably be blamed for not following etiquette. That's simply not true with the current divisions.
how about something -sql vs -tuning ... ? -tuning replacing -performance, which I do agree could be sql *or* server ... where -tuning would be more obviously server related ...
