This is what I am afraid of, as it now looks like all we've accomplished
is making it more difficult for someone to keep their eyes on
everything.

Also, what is the point of dev-announce, then?  Realize that
dev-announce and project were two separate "solutions" for the same
"problem" so now we have two different ways of getting the same point
across.  If dev-announce continues down the path it is currently going
of being only some precursor to dev, I don't see the point, at all.  If
it is opened up more as I'd outlined previously, making it useful for
*all* lists, then I definitely see the reasoning.  I'm still not sure I
see the point on project, though, since nearly anything being discussed
on project could go to another list.  I mean, anything policy-related
could go to the appropriate list, such as gentoo-council, gentoo-nfp, or
gentoo-devrel, so what exactly *is* left, aside from flames, that is
non-technical in nature, doesn't fall under the Council/Trustees/DevRel,
but still is a global issue?
