That sounds good to me. "Have to" will be in the eye of the beholder.
It appears we have about ~400-500 messages/month. I hope people will be
willing to create a new list if we reach 5x or 10x as many per month.

Frankly, I'd love to see the split anyway. Those who want to see both could
subscribe to both.
