No, it wasn't left out on purpose -- it was just an unfortunate oversight.
In fact, Fabuland was listed on this page long ago,

   http://www.lugnet.com/admin/plan/4.html

as a niche thematic-interest group likely to pop up...it's always been
something inevitable.

So --

Are there any other niche discussion groups/lists that may have accidentally
been overlooked that people aren't mentioning because it seems like it was
intentional not to include them?  I'd hate to see something badly neglected.

A few things that come to mind which might be now or soon reaching critical
mass are:

   * a minifig building/modification group
   * a Palm Pilot robotics development group/list
   * a Java/JVM RCX robotics development group/list

Are there others?
How strongly are these desired?
