We're already in a multi-list world, and it's probably okay:

This is by far the main list, with many more subscribers than any other. 
  It's the only list linked to from the Rev site, and folks on the other 
lists regularly recommend joining this one.

It's like a restaurant that serves one great main dish, with a broad 
range of choices available on the dessert tray.

It's worth noting that the only secondary lists that have had any 
longevity are those with a well-defined special purpose.  Those that 
were created with the aim of being just another venue for general Rev 
discussion have fallen into disuse in favor of this one.
