Ugh. This causes unnecessary confusion. If you're going to separate
things in this way, call them perl6-user-announce and
perl6-devel-announce, for $DEITY's sake.
Naming is *really* important. Really really important. A misnamed list
can cause problems that go on for years. I've seen it happen, I've
*caused* it to happen, and I've learnt from my experiences. Please take
my word on this.
