This causes unnecessary confusion. If you're going to separate things in this way, call them perl6-user-announce and perl6-devel-announce, for $DEITY's sake. Naming is *really* important. Really really important. A misnamed list can cause problems that go on for years. I've seen it happen, I've *caused* it to happen, and I've learnt from my experiences. Please take my word on this.
