My hesitation to this has always been the turnkey question.   
Pipermail has it's problems but it /does/ allow small sites to get  
going very quickly with a full(-ish) solution.

It may be that most people get their Mailman installation from their  
distro or hosting service and this is no longer as important.  In  
that case, I still wouldn't chuck Pipermail, but I would try to see  
if we can adopt Jeff's goal of making the archive selection pluggable  
and easily selectable by list admins.
