Actually, that sounds like a great idea. Not dumping the -dev list |
| 9 |
entirely, but moving most development stuff that's restricted to a |
| 10 |
certain area to a list specific to it. For example, we already have |
| 11 |
-portage-dev, -releng, -desktop et al., although many are underused. We |
| 12 |
could add a list for each project to have its development on. |

This is not artificial, it's based upon the size of groups people can |
| 15 |
effectively work in. George has posted on this a number of times. I |
| 16 |
suspect this is a major contributor to the ineffectiveness of -dev recently. |
