At least in Chuq's context, in which Apple claims in their privacy policy
to protect the addresses of us innocent subscribers to their lists.

That context may not match the context of other list operators, who may
feel that the subscribers are out in the main stacks somewhere.  Or in a
drawer in the librarian's desk for "suitable" review.
