That's a possibility, but for this list... remember: they're idiots.

If they were accidentally/maliciously unsubscribed, then they can always
resubscribe.

Really... how often does somebody maliciously unsubscribe somebody? I
have to imagine it is quite rare. I'd rather take the safe side and let
them get off the list as easy as possible.

I'd actually prefer a confirmation-less subscription, too, and have
something in the subscribe acknowledgement say "if you were subscribed
in error, then hit <this> URL to unsubscribe"
