Good point. But I don't see it as likely to change in either case, unless we 
specifically make an effort to get people to discuss stuff on this list, which I 
see no reason to do.

No, if there were any real changes to the lists, I'd love to stop seeing people 
post to the bugs list (actually, I'd argue that we should just lock it down so 
that you _can't_ post from it - only receive), and there are times that it would 
be nice if people posted stuff to D.Learn instead of D, though that's not all 
that big a problem (though maybe list D.Learn as first in the list of newsgroups 
on the site would fix that problem).

Overall, I think that things are working fairly well as they are.
