IMHO they are already separated by different expectations that are  
simply
not fulfilled. Otherwise the topic would not reappear every 3 months.

In the long run I think we must give up the idea of a single solution  
fits all.

For those who really like a forum such a gateway is not a really  
acceptable
solution and does not solve the problem in features and useability  
they have.
Unfortunately, the mailing list users usually have not the experience  
to deeply
understand the differences.

Therefore, my conclusion is that both should simply exist (and can be  
used
how people prefer it).

Yes. Should IMHO also be done. And then listed on the new Wiki page.
