This makes a lot of sense, and should help to decouple the bindings
and standards from the tool. Should have happened a long time ago. :)

I predict that it will be hard for someone posting a patch to tell if
they should send it to this list or some other list. It might be
convenient for you guys to ignore the high-volume list and just focus
on this one, but for the people who post patches it just makes it more
complicated. IMHO.
