For this reason, incubating projects these days are generally encouraged to keep both user and devs together on one list until the user-oriented traffic grows to a point that it becomes too noisy and not useful for all developers to be hearing.
I'd turn that round slightly and ask if it's reasonable to make our users wade through all sorts of (to them) noise on the dev list? I certainly think all developers should subscribe to the user list, and interact with the users. I know from helping our internal users of Qpid that many users are looking for help migrating from other products and are working to deadlines. They want to be able to get help and advice quickly and I think asking them to subscribe to a dev list would put them off. It might also confuse them as we discuss features or concepts only applicable to in-development versions as opposed to releases. RG
