Seconding RobertLumley’s suggestion. It would make more sense to me if all new posts went to Discussion and some of them got promoted to Main from there. For topic divisions I’d rather use tagging, because it doesn’t force readers to check ten different sections of the site for updates, and also because you can have multiple tags on one article.
This already happens to an extent: posts are being moved between Main and Discussion depending on quality and topic. Of late, Main evaporated into a section for selected posts only, everything else goes in Discussion.
