Currently, the list descriptions read:
"openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Purpose: General discussion & patch submission

openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Purpose: Discussions and patches for OE-Core"

Given this description I see hardly any post to openembedded-core
that shouldn't go to openembedded-devel as well.
But cross-posts are bad.

I'm not against two separate lists, but it should be clear what
should go to which list.  If the separation line is such that
there are more than 10% cross posts, then the lists should be joined.

BTW, some seem to think that openembedded-devel is for OE-Classic,
while openembedded-core should be for the new system (i.e. includes
oe-core and meta-oe).
That might be a better separation line to avoid cross posts, but
if that's what people want, this should be clearly said.

Another separation line would be the old -devel and -users separation.

Personally I could live with clearly separated lists, but I think
that just merging everything into openembedded-devel would be the
approach that serves all best, as everybody has his own separation
line anyway.
