Aha! Something that looks like a concrete use case! But what is
"delegation"? I mean, "who delegates what to whom? And why does
Mailman need to address it? What code needs to be written to address
it?
The rest of your post is just a reiteration of your religious belief
that generic is good.
I know the theory, but without use cases I will devote my efforts
elsewhere, and ignore complaints that my code or my advisee's code is
insufficiently general or that it ignores a theoretical design that
has no code or use case to back it up.
