For reference, this was the full discussion that eventually lead to that:
As I alluded to previously, some (including myself) proposed adding a new #general category in addition to renaming the Users category to Python Help, but at the time it was decided to just do the latter change and defer the former.
In light of the proposed changes here to better tailor #users toward user questions, perhaps its time to reconsider it, as following that there did appear to be a fair bit of support for the former idea (and it seems at least to me that we’ve gotten more non-Python-Help threads in #users over time, and more threads that start out in other specialized categories but don’t end up meeting the bar for their requirements get moved to #users .
