Not to burn bytes but I think your view is narrow on this one. I am 
tech-savvy although I am certainly not a hacker. The only reason I had 
any idea how to deal with the mailing list debacle is because I come 
from a Unix sysadmin background. If you take someone who is a data 
analyst, real DBA (think MSSQL but happens to have PostgreSQL 
somewhere), or god forbid a newcomer who's only exposure to mailing 
lists is Slack? Then you have a whole slew of people that know literally 
nothing of mailing lists except that they hit their filters and now they 
don't. Then let's also remember the lazy factor.

Thanks,

JD
