Which is not a drawback but exactly how it's supposed to be. When any proposal
for change reaped sufficiently to actually make a decision, the ML being subject
to such change will receive a note about such decision making process pending
(though you don't seriously assume that users reading both ML wouldn't spread
the word in the ML that's subject to change). Until then the topic is off topic
for the dev ML and no user of that dev ML will complain.

But the whole topic is already moot. Jaromil explained that there's already a
dev-ML and that it's closed (guess why ;-D ) and so the "segregation of
developers" you try to avoid is already an established fact. Nevertheless this
whole "segregation" thing is nonsense since you can't force devels to read a
noisy irrelevant ML, no matter what you do. Multiple ML are about keeping stuff
on topic in each of them. Nobody can guarantee any devel will read a single
post in any of them. But chances they do are the higher the better the S/N
ratio aka "on-topic".
