I use Exim's LMTP support over unix domain sockets, so I've added a few
notes about it on the wiki page you mention. 

With regards genaliases and exim, I'd imagine that most users are happy
with the current genaliases output, as for non-lmtp connections it can
be used directly, or simply the existence of a line can be tested. 

I must confess, I don't use it at all, since Mailman runs on the same
node as Exim, I check directly for the list's existence by looking for
its directory, and use a generic transport that copes with the suffix.
