How much mail is release-specific? I would guess such threads would be
mostly about installation, so it might be better to split off a -install
list. Traffic about getting drivers to work might also be redirected to
such a list.
Installation and remastering 4 is very different from 5, following the
intro of yum into Anaconda.
Applications to do stuff tend to change wu-imapd is out, dovecot and
cyrus are in. Pine is out, mutt is in. Networking configuration's
changed. lprNG is out, CUPS is in. Lotsa stuff changes. Have a look at
the release notes, see what's expunged and what's deprecated.
Runtime packages should be pretty common among all releases and might as
well be in -users.
You might also consider reading the list with a news reader through
gmane to avoid the download cost.
That would be worse:

I'm pulling a gbyte/month through a modem. Interactive through that
modem is largely out.
