We're viewing Mailman 2.1 as a major change point...so we'll try to be
gentle with the existing Mailman lists.  Including not jumping in for
existing lists until 2.1 final is clearly working here.

Meanwhile, we have a handful (half a hand, actually) of Majordomo lists
left...I'm waiting to retrain th list owners directly to Mailman 2.1,
rather than retraining to 2.0 and retraining again.
