[Citation needed]. I don't see any explanation in your email why your
larger userbase suddenly is also way better educated.

The number of confused and unhelpful question would increase instead
(because you call it a "gateway distro"), and because you believe that
the number of people using Evoluion would also increase.
See Ubuntu bug reports in Launchpad.net - they get so many and many are
so crappy that I wouldn't want to see this effect on a mailing list.

It's cute to dream of educated users who always take a look at the
documentation first before asking on a list. Reality is different.
