I don't understand the current rationale for a single CentOS users'

We've been down this route before - and the same things are going to be
said now that were said previously, we are not going to be splitting the
list based on Release and/or Arch. It might have worked for others, but
we dont want to split the community up into fragments. And, personally,
I think this is working very well - we get max eyeballs and people dont
need to be subscribed to a multiple lists to keep an eye on stuff.
Perhaps when membership of the list hits 50,000 we might reconsider -
but were not there yet.
What might be worth looking at was to create more lists ( not split )
based on technology (eg. CentOS-Clustering ), but we've not really had
any request for those, afict.
And as Les has already pointed out - most stuff in the lists is common.
perhaps you should consider compress'd digests for your mailing lists
traffic.
Okay, now we have a decision I'm outta here.
You said I'm not the first to raise the matter. You need to listen and
consider the disadvantaged amongst your number.
