My 2¢: Nothing is stopping anyone from asking and answering questions on
StackOverflow.  However, effective answers come from critical mass of
the knowledgeable user community, and right now that critical mass is
here.  If enough people start using StackOverflow, then the critical
mass will be there... and likely this list will wither.

Personally, I *like* the mailing list, because I scan the discussion
going by, even when it’s not currently relevant to me, and often
something rings a bell later when I need it.  If everyone who thinks SO
is better uses it... then eventually, it’ll become the place to go.
Democracy in action, or something.
