Some people like to filter PG mail into different folders for different lists, so that they can read with more focus. That would get significantly harder if we merged the lists into just a couple. On the other hand, if you see the lists as one big discussion, you can have them all arrive in one folder (and set your subscription to filter dups from cross-posted messages). I happen to fall in the latter camp but I don't want to make life hard for the former camp, especially not when it wouldn't really buy anything for me.

I agree with the original complaint about not creating new lists without significant evidence that one is needed, but that doesn't translate into wanting to smash everything down to a couple of lists.
