Xen devel - Dec 2004 - start xen-ia64-devel or just use xen-devel?

(Sorry for the re-post.  I am using a different mailer and didn''t
realize that the previous post would get linked as a response
to an unrelated post.)

I expect a fair amount of email discussion in the coming months
as various people contribute to the Xen/ia64 port.  Since
many/most subscribers to xen-devel will have little interest in
ia64-specific email, I thought I would solicit opinions:
Should the Xen/ia64 traffic remain in xen-devel?  Or should
there be a separate email-list (e.g. xen-ia64-devel) and
email can be cross-posted to xen-devel when relevant to others?
I can see advantages and disadvantages to both approaches.

I think we probably need to create a xen-users list in addition
to xen-devel. Assuming we do that, I don''t see any reason not to
hold the discussion on xen-devel (with private email as
appropriate). Some of this stuff may be relevant to other ports
anyhow.

Speaking as somebody only interested in the x86 version and the x86_64 
port, I agree with keeping various ports on the main list (at least for 
now). The traffic is low enough that it is not burdensome, and it is 
quite likely that the various ports will benefit from cross-polination 
of discussions/ideas.

Starting a xen-users would also be good, since configuration and use 
questions will rapidly become a larger portion of the whole.
