Hi, Ross.

First, remember that (as noted in the message) the last-call
*announcements* go to ietf-announce, with reply-to set to
<ietf@ietf.org>; they already do not get posted to <ietf@ietf.org>.
What would change is that the reply-to would become
<last-call@ietf.org>.

Second, one of the points of this is to allow people to choose to
follow the last-call discussions and/or the IETF general discussion,
and to make separate choices for those -- some will want one, some the
other, some both.  If we were to subscribe one list to the other, it
wouldn't be possible to choose which to subscribe to independently.
