when we are talking about Qpid Proton, it may be

Qpid Proton. If we mix these lists up it makes is much harder for the
(imaginary) XXXMQ community to view the Qpid Proton lists as equally
applicable to them
I think another way of putting this is that a distinct list helps
reinforce the notion that the proton is an independent artefact in its
own right, with public APIs and appropriate guarantees around stability
and focus rather than just an internal layer subservient to some of the
other Qpid components.
That seems reasonable.
However the new site describes proton as "suitable for simple clients or
high powered servers" and "ideal for building out your own messaging
applications". I think it is important to address the overlap with the
existing user list in some way and to anticipate the questions this may
well raise for users (and indeed developers!) of our existing messaging
APIs as well as those who become interested in the community in the future.
