Personally, I am against the idea.  I quite like having
everything-under-one-roof as it means that I receive messages about
topics that I would not necessarily have thought I'd be interested in,
but upon reading them, I am.

Also, things frequently get quite off-topic... would these kind of
messages have to be moved to other lists, breaking the threading of a
topic?
