Irrespective of who did it & whether it was discussed or not, we  
still have loads of support-type questions ("How do I do this?" "I  
changed the following config file but still...") on community. The  
volume just makes it unmanageable, IMO.

People keep saying "filter it on the client" side, but how the heck  
does one do that? If we have multiple lists those who wish can  
subscribe to all of them and filter them into one folder, those that  
don't, don't. It seems simply a matter of choice to me, and multiple  
lists ADD choice, a fewer lists removes it.
