One option may be to make a llvm-users mailing list and subscribe the 
llvm-dev mailinglist to it.

That way you create two levels of information:
- Users that just want the high-level things can subscribe to the 
llvm-users list and ask their questions there
- Developers will get to have their in-depth discussions on the old list 
and still get to see all the posts from the high-level list as well

Cheers,
