My general SysAdmin questions  have always been covered well on the IRC,
but I appreciate the drag on developers' time that answering the same 20
questions multiple times a week might pose (though I have only rarely seen
the equivalent of RTFM or "you're on the wrong list").  Sometimes I really
was asking the question on the wrong list!  I think a list for sysadmins
makes some sense, but it begs the question, "Whose time and expertise will
be split out to cover the questions there?"

Just a thought,

Wolf
