I'd be curious to learn the reasoning behind that point.  Both creating an address and creating a folder need a bit of thought...  What unintended consequences could happen?

The script I use for List-ID-to-folder is so ugly that only a couple of users include it.  I guess an extension-to-folder would be similar:

if (/^List-ID:[^<]*<([-_A-Za-z0-9]*)/:H)
{
         DEST=`sed -nr 's/^INBOX(\\.'"$MATCH1"')$/\\1/ip' ./Maildir/courierimapsubscribed`
         if ("$DEST")
         {
                 `test -d "./Maildir/$DEST"`
                 if ($RETURNCODE == 0)
                         to "./Maildir/$DEST";
         }
}

Isn't that ugly enough?
