I agree. I wake up in the middle of the night, in fear, thinking that we
can't slice'n'dice these discussions up too much. :-)
Seperate things into too many categories just kill the
"community-feeling" over a mailinglist, and you start loosing articles.
You "know" certain people, the regulars.
Seriously, I don't think it's enough traffic, and enough people, to
justify even more mailinglists.
I have two lists to think of; SunRescue and SunHelp.
Hand on my heart, is it too much "off-topic" traffic to justify more
lists?

I love coming to work every morning, getting a mug o'coffee, and spend
the next 15-30 minutes just to read all mail from Sunhelp mailinglists.
I'm on two of them (now three including the newest one) and that feels
just about enough sometimes.
