For your last point: Thats putting the horse behind the cart. Most devs and/or
skilled users leave -general just because it has become such a dump.

Concerning moderation: See my last mail. Some users will always going head first
into heated discussions. The -discussion mailing list could serve as an outlet
for this need, rendering the other list more productive via being moderated; The
rule wouldn't be "shut up or be banned", which shouldn't really be necessary
for rational folks like us, but "shut up or take this to -discussion" with
banning as ultima ratio.
