I am quite confident that there is no single magic set of operator
requirements that applies to all operators.  I speculate that there
is a lot of commonality in operator requirements.  Finding and focusing
on that commonality seems useful, if a bit of a challenge.  My experience
so far is that enterprise operators often have a very different view
of the world than (for example) large core backbone operators.

(NB: The other clarifications about list scope were also helpful,
to me at least :-)
