I dont see this as a problem: You only create a new list when the
traffic for that proposal gets too great for zope-dev. Threading is
good enough before that point.

You cant do that with todays Wikis, which need to capture the whole
discussion right from the beginning (IMO)

I think you (inadvertantly) provide evidence for my objection that
Todays Wikis fragment discussion. Speaking as the person who started
this thread, I didnt realise my comments would affect WikiNG until you
suggested the issue.

The inclusive nature of a mailing list is what makes it a useful
community resource.
