I agree.
To clarify: Johnathan is working on mod_wiki for his own reasons, separate from Wikipedia, but would like for it to be useful for wikipedia too. He has indicated that his feelings won't be hurt if we don't switch to it. Obviously, we would switch to it if it best suits our needs at some point, and we wouldn't if it didn't.
Only if specific detailed discussions of it get too common or lengthy here, and if it looked like we wouldn't be adopting it at all, then I would support having a new mailing list.
