    it was decided that to disambiguate things; gm, sm, wheel, and bod
    would be split into {list}-current, {list}-extras, and {list}-all

    for the moment, the current aliases would point to {list}-all, but
    if we find we are using {list}-current more than {list}, then we
    will change {list} to point to {list}-current.
