It would make my life simpler if [email protected] were merged into [email protected] and then disabled.

Does having two lists make life simpler for anybody?

It would if acpi-devel weren't a de-facto support list. If acpi-devel was really just for developers, I'd just subscribe to acpi-support (which I may do anyway, since I finally have a complete acpi implementation for my Inspiron 2500 with kernel 2.4.22). So far, I've been able to offer a little advice to people on acpi-support, but everything that has helped _me_ I got from acpi-devel.

So, unless somebody takes it upon themselves to tell every person who asks a support-type question on acpi-devel to post on the correct list, I'd say there's not much point for the separation.

For me, No. I think, the support mailing list, has more traffic and is for newbies and some people who want try install acpi. They can get help here.
The devel mailing list is for the people who want (try) help developing acpi
When I had time I read the 2 lists, in other times I just read the devel one. I clean up the other.

thanks
