Your scheme makes sense--I like the idea that subscribers can wind up "on
probation" (assuming the list admin configures the list that way).  I
understand that this simplifying assumption makes the design much easier
to think through.  As a list admin, though, I'd like to be able to throw a
switch that causes Mailman to completely ignore non-fatal bounces
(Assuming it's possible to distinguish between them, which is maybe the
can of worms you were trying to avoid opening).
