sure he/she can, but edubuntu is the only ubuntu distro that only has
this one list, all other follow the namig scheme of having -users,
-devel and the localized lists

the idea behind the split as i understood it in the pre-last edubuntu
meeting was to give users that are scared by the -devel name an
opportunity to communicate, i agree that the list is *very* low traffic
and not restricted to -devel problems at all, but the name doesnt
indicate that.

thats exactly how lists are split in the ubuntu world, a chat list
"-users" and a tech list "-devel" for every ubuntu based distro out
there :)
