I think we badly need a list for high-level strategic discussions. There have been a couple suggestions about just creating a new list that clearly has that purpose rather than trying to find a way to get this list back to what that was. What about creating a new list called 'core-conversations'. No newbie could ever imagine that was a support list and it is very clear what it is for. The core conversations at DrupalCon this year were some of the best things about the conference for me and a year-round way of having (or at least starting) those conversations would be a great thing for Drupal. We could also use it to propose/discuss the strategic initiatives that Dries wants to use for future development.<br>

What we currently (badly) use "meta" issues and a variety of fragmented groups on g.d.o for, was what this development list was for at one time. Support questions were directed to the forums or to IRC.<div>
