And importantly -- who would be able to subscribe to one and not the
other? If you have to subscribe to both to get make any sense of
things then there's no point.

Fwiw I'm having trouble keeping up these days too. And I'm quite
accustomed to very heavy traffic email. I've been throwing all
postgres related lists into one folder and skimmed through it looking
for important threads. However this has now broken down. There are
about 45 new threads every day. I've been travelling for a bit and am
now 1,500 threads behind...

If we can find a way to split the content sensibly so I could stop
reading some of it that would be helpful. But cutting splitting it
along subject matter where both sets of subject matter need to be seen
by the same people doesn't really help.

I'm thinking I'll move -general (and the useless -novice) to another
folder. But I'm left wondering what to do with -admin and
-performance. They're a random mix of user content and developer
content. I'll probably move them along with -general but that means I
won't be likely to see any development discussion on them in the
future.
