I just want to be sure to have a mechanism tried out and working before we take action to split the lists. I perfectly understand that the amount of proposal/RFC/voting mail traffic is big on an even otherwise huge mailing list - and I perfectly agree that some action is a good idea here. However, simply "banning" this stuff from talk ASAP just because you and some others might not be interested in - without thinking how it could seamlessly work in the future?
