I recently re-subscribed having been off for about four years. The
changes I have noticed are:

1. Much less traffic. I previously got 250+ posts per day. Now 50-100.
Could this be due to the development of ubuntu?

If you look at the traffic charts you will notice a big decrease after
some big OT flamewars (anyone remember sponge-bob?). Unfortunately the
list also lost some good posters then...

3. Less digression, and if it occurs, it dies out in a day or two.
Previously it could go on for weeks, particularly if a political agenda
develops.

See above.

5. Less newbie posts. Ubuntu?
6. Less configuration questions. Could this be due to improvement of
the kernel and included libraries?

In the 3+ years I've been with Debian I've seen *great* improvements in
user-friendliness.
