I agree about "major" apps - there's no question in my mind of  
consolidating the IMP list into something else, just keeping mimp  
(list deleted) and dimp (never had its own list) with it. But it's  
debatable in my mind whether nag/kronolith/mnemo should even be  
separate applications. So maybe turba stays for now until we decide  
where it goes and kronolith/nag/mnemo becomes groupware.

But: I think it does not serve us at all to have individual lists for  
scry, midas, etc - they don't get used and they just fragment the  
community unnecessarily. I am a fan of granularity as well, but I  
think we need to give some up in order to nurture our community.
