I'm not certain that David's convenience should be the exclusive
consideration when deciding what goes where ;-)

If we do that then it becomes worth wondering what the -docs list is for
at all.  Maybe we *should* get rid of it; I dunno.  I see your point
about how the factual issues involved in a docs change ought to be
vetted on -hackers, but on the other hand the traffic on -hackers is so
high already that I'm not happy about folding another list with a
reasonably distinct charter into it.
