I don't either; it's unacceptable.

Many, maybe most, sites will be fine just using the default Postorius, but
plenty of sites will not.  They will want to make mailing list administration,
or user subscriptions, fit in with their own site design.  Think of the
code-hosting example where you join teams and that automatically puts you on
that team's mailing list.  Maybe through the code-hosting's regular web-ui you
can manage your subscriptions, but maybe they make all the other decisions for
you, in order to keep the web-ui really really simple.  They don't want
Postorius, they just want the core.  We must keep that as a possibility.
