I tend to agree -- and would additionally like to have a "Unsubscribe

I guess that the listinfo page could mention how to unsubscribe in
larger writing -- but I don't want to scare users from changing their
(other) subscription options, either.  I think I'll have to ponder on
how this best could be done a little while.
