If it's correct, it should be written down in the list guidelines.

There could be a split whereby user-support for the test release is
here and the machine-generated emails and QA organisational threads
remain on the test list. If we could accept that some people ask for
help about a test release here without pointing them to the etst list,
I wouldn't care about a change similar ot the one that I've just
enunciated.

My comment to unify the lists was more of a throwaway comment out of
frustration than a serious proposal.
