+1,
IMVHO splitting dev and users too early will isolate developers from
the users needs, and users from the realities of developers.
BTW, "to early" has yet to be defined.

There is no hard relation-ship for having a users list and the
graduation.
A user list is more of a decission to split traffic. For now, I am
not
sure, whether we really need it. But if "the community" deems it
useful
to have two list, I am certainly open to also run a users list.
Maybe to
be set up during the graduation process....
I don't think need a user mailing list right now, IMHO our community
is too small to warrant separate lists.
This list currently has 130 subscribers according to
http://people.apache.org/~coar/mlists.html.
The problem with separate user and dev lists is that it tends to
create an "us and them" feeling which I don't like, unless traffic is
really to high for a single list.
We can always create a user list later, nothing says this has to
happen at graduation time.
