This is an open source project, and I see little to no-advantage to it's use outside of creating a rather vile aftertaste in the mouths of those developers who are not "invited".
I've heard the arguments for the list, and I can only say they are valid reasons. But you're now making PHP a political project rather than a software project. Thanks. This is the sort of thing I don't want to have to deal with in my personal time. If you want a private list, take PHP out of the Open Source. If you want to cut down on the signal/noise ratio then moderate the list, but don't make it private and invite only.
Zeev no matter how you see it or say it, the inclusion of members into a "private" mailing list is an exclusive ranking. You may claim otherwise, but all such claims by members of such group will more than likely be disregarded.

I had nothing to do with that limited php5 list. I thought that was completely bogus myself and argued against it.
