Coming from reddit (since before the digg v4 migration), the very specific communities are the thing that kept me around for so long. But I think the specificity of those groups only makes sense at a certain scale, and if we tried to have ~creative.woodworking or ~creative.stainedglass here they would just be dead. It only worked for reddit because no matter what topic you're talking about there were so many people that you'd have a sizeable community for it.
What I'm not sure about is the user created nature of them. If tildes is trying to foster a particular type of conversation, it could do without hundreds of groups for memes and advice animals. But on the other hand, I didn't mind the hundreds of very specific cat subreddits (shout out to r/catswhoyell and r/airplaneears), so opinions on all of reddit's less serious areas will vary.
Maybe it would make sense to have a request form where people can suggest what groups they'd like to see, so you could gauge interest in having a group for ~creative.woodworking, and once it hits a certain level of interest you can break that topic out of the main ~creative group. But that also lets you curate what groups exist, and maybe you take a pass on ~creative.deepfriedwoodworkingmemes. I'm a little iffy on this idea because it means you can't start a community on your own and grow it, but maybe that's fine with the notion that tildes as a whole is the community rather than a bunch of connected fiefdoms trying to be their own communities.

They haven't stopped making the Honda Fit, they've just stopped bringing them to the US market.
Japan (and maybe other markets) will have a Honda Fit RS soon. Not a GTI I'm sure, but quicker than previous models.
