My one concern is that the people who do want to ask questions might get lost on the design list. Its not so much a question of lots of traffic from support questions as lots of involved design discussion such that its not obvious that its the right forum to ask about your problem when Chandler won't start.I can see the value of a "clearly marked" venue for support stuff. I"m still not sure we really have enough traffic to justify it.
My fear is that if we create a -user list too soon it will languish and the support people (i.e. the devs will ignore it as yet-another-list) and the power-users will continue to use -dev.
In the past the criteria I've seen used for creating a -user list is when a public beta is announced - that way you avoid the sudden surge of traffic on -dev.
