If you put it that way, yes.  There sure does need to be a reason to
bother.

Maybe there is no distinction to be made, in which case making an
artificial distinction is creating confusion where there was none
before.

Eg, I can just see someone arguing that when Mailman generates a
message (a rejection, a password reminder, whatever) it's a
User-Agent, while when it simply relays it's a List-Agent.

Let that "something" write the RFC, then, when it's got a reason for
increasing congestion of the namespace.
