I think this is a good way of splitting. However, although splitting makes
the list easier to read, I think things that are naturally inter-related
should be in the same list. For instance, stability and performance are too
pervasive to be separate. Almost every sub-system can affect stability.
Similarly for performance, although in SL it's more bound to critical areas
(such as graphics).

IMHO Graphics and chat seem two well focused areas that could deserve their
own channels, given the amount of discussion they generate.
