In my mind, there are three differentiation: 1) The Solr Users mailing list traffic is quite large and diverse. So, it can be both overwhelming (for everybody) and hard to notice messages that are possibly of much higher impact than others. An upstream framework that is suddenly broken or wants to adopt a new feature has a larger impact on overall user experience, then one person's individual journey through Solr features and its current limitations. So, there is a multiplier effect of attention if handled right. 2) The upstream implementer's questions are usually a mix of super-technical details and potentially not complete understanding of Solr. So, they could benefit - in my mind - of having space of their own being more technical an/or in-depth than Users list and less Solr-tuned than Dev list. 3) The other people on such list would be other implementers with similar questions (e.g. new schema configuration API specifics) and so they could benefit from each other's questions in the way people on the Solr Users mailing list do much less frequently.
I hope this clarifies my reasoning. Alex.
