Same here.

Yep, I do.

Worth a thought, yes. The unsubscription could contain a message
pointing them at the RFC and explain the reason for unsubscribing them.

But remember: We would need someone who tracks this ... and actually
triggers the unsubscribing. This would have to be a mailing-list-admin,
and I am not so sure if Todd is looking for new duties ;-)
