  Hear, hear.  The name of the list is an arbitrary label, not instructions
on what kind of client to use to access the repository; why, just for the
sake of making it "correct" in some non-functional sense of the word should
everyone in the world have to adjust their
whitelists/forwards/spamfilters/webarchives/etc.?

  There should be a fairly clear benefit before asking all those people to
do all that work.
