[SciPy-user] [SciPy-dev] Long live to numpy (and its list as well)

We're one community (or want to be).  Could we just have one mailing
list per type of discussion (dev and user)?  All the cross-posting and
cross-monitoring is tedious.  I don't care whether we keep scipy-* or
numpy-* lists, but is there a functional reason to have four lists?
Consider that soon we may have *-doc, *-newbie, *-announce, and others
as well, if this takes off like we all hope.  If the developers want
separate lists because some are only working on one of the two
packages, I can see that argument (in the future if not now).  I don't
see a need for two user lists, unless perhaps sorted by high and low
traffic.

I propose we either drop the numpy-* lists (if subscribers there
agree), or leave them for ongoing discussion of the legacy packages,
and discourage discussion of the new numpy/scipy there.

Ok, flame me.
