Its not the high-traffic.  Its the amount of noise vs signal.  Lists like LKML 
tend to have a lot of signal in that traffic.  While unfortunately lists like 
fedora-devel have a lot of noise, that drives off the type of people who 
could handle the traffic should it be all signal.  Even still its hard to 
keep up, and READ that much email.
