FWIW: I think the idea of two different categories (communities) would be a bad idea as there is not enough market share here at MD for that, at this point. As for renaming the "ultralight" community to "backpacking", meh, I suppose that such a name change would be of benefit to make it (the community/category) sound like a broader scope of interest, but in the end, I would suspect that would be the extent of such a change. As for the (heavier) weight of some products that MD has, I think that is a good thing. The broader scope of products that MD is able to offer means the broader/larger userbase that MD is able to draw into their network of users, and that has the potential to result in more drops for really nice gear, more people buying gear and thus allowing us all to reach the better (lower price) tiers, and the chance that more companies that otherwise would not work with MD possibly being willing to do so. (not really sure any of this is helpful in any way, just wanted to share my thoughts)

abela@abela - your insight is impressively (but unsurprisingly) spot-on.
