I thought the -embedded list was created in the first place to keep some
of the "noise" off of -dev (i.e. "I can't get interface <foo> to work on
my custom <embedded eval board>-lookalike board, HELP!"). If people still
care about keeping that on a separate list, then we shouldn't change it.

I think the relevant people probably monitor this list (maybe not quite as
frequently) to catch things. I even caught the first PWRficient-related
question in a timely manner the other day. :-)

Still, that being said, patches will clearly get better exposure on -dev,
especially device tree crap.
