I thought this too.  But, I think that haskell-cafe is high traffic, 
whereas people subscribe just to haskell at haskell.org when they just want 
announcements and HWN (which has been awesome lately, by the way).

But I think a discussion e.g. about providing medical treatment to 
prisoners of war might benefit both haskell-cafe and the discussion itself 
to be on another list.

Especially as the community is growing rapidly, it might benefit from 
having an outlet for all of this energy.

I think just putting a little note beside the mailing list "high traffic" 
as opposed to "off topic" before you get to the subscribe step would 
suffice, without needing to change names.
