I would imagine at least a small portion of Amedee's reasoning is:

sounder - [OBSOLETE] Ubuntu community random chit-chat list

As oppposed to:

ubuntu-users - Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions

A discussion about the pros and cons of Unity is not technical
support.  A discussion that answers the question "How do I do X in
Unity" would be more appropriate.

However, with the closure of sounder, I have a feeling that
ubuntu-users will become more general discussion than technical
support :/
