The problem is that they are too many, and some are overlapping.
As an example, -hackers in my mind covers many of the specialized
lists (-arch, -fs, etc.).  I don't believe it's wise to add a new
list for each part of the system (or we should have -samba, -tcpip,
-nfs, -video...).

Probably it would be not a bad idea to try to reduce the number of
lists to a manageable number, otherwise people will keep using the
most popular ones (-questions, -current, -hackers...). I am often
in doubt on which list to use, and I end up with either -hackers
or -questions
