Sorry, but I still am not seeing the need here. There is very little commons-user
traffic related to [math]. My understanding is that the http-client split was driven
by high traffic. Commons-dev and commons-user benefit from a large community who
comment / make suggestions on multiple components. I am opposed to splitting j-c
components into separate lists / projects unless the traffic reaches the "bothersome"
level.

People can easily filter, as they can on commons-dev as well.

Phil, Its unclear to what your agreeing? Hen was +0. Your comment sounds
like your not wanting it (ie -0).
I strongly think the reason that commons-user is low traffic is that
users do not want to get email for stuff they are not interested in nor
do they want to manage complex filter rules on their email, so they
never join it.
Believe me, I've worked IT support for university professors, sometimes
I'm very surprised they even know what an email account is...let alone
filtering.
