FWIW, my opinion is basically: 1) it absolutely makes sense to have a cfe-users list, because there are tons of random "users of clang as a C compiler" that don't care about hacking on the compiler itself.  2) I don't see any utility in having an llvm-users list, because all "users" of llvm are compiler or other low level tools hackers, and llvmdev is the right list for that.

That said, I suggested that Tanya ask on llvmdev to see if there was some other reasonable way to split up llvmdev.  Just because I don't personally see it doesn't mean it can't exist :)
