That doesn't seem right to me, and it completely contradicts my expectations 
and the reason I've been using this list for the past however many years:

My understanding:
* mediawiki-l - support
* wikitech-l - development

That seems like a much clearer and more sensible division than:
* mediawiki-l - development
* wikitech-l - development but only if it's relevant to Wikimedia

You're right - it is a wiki.... which is why I trust the information that's 
been there since 2006, rather than the information that was added this 
morning.
