I really do not see why people are so against that.?? I think it's common
sense to let someone know they're asking the wrong people to for help in
solving a problem, and pointing out where they should go.?? They're going
to have to do that if they want to solve the problem.
I think some people also think that the Test list membership is a
subset of the Users list, i.e. the devs are reading the Users list so
they'll see the message. This is illusory.
If you go down the route of only having one list for everything.
Along
with the usual "how to do I do this with my software?" questions, you're
going have all the "the save button needs to move 3 pixels to the left"
design chatter.
Not to mention that new users are going to have to figure out that most
of the chatter about scads of bugs on some test package have absolutely
nothing to do with the released package that they're using, etc.
There's very good reasons to keep user and test lists apart.
