Yes.

No: I think fragmenting into -wg lists will reduce what the average member
knows about what is going on within AFFS. If at some point in the future
we find 90% of list traffic is one -wg, then that would be the point to
split the list.

Incidentally, this whole thread on affs-* mailing lists is a good example
of things I don't think should be cluttering the fsfe list. All
organisational AFFS issues serve to reduce fsfe-uk's efficacy as "UK Free
Software". As AFFS grows, organisational issues will only increase.
