This is wise and everybody should read it twice.
I think that most mailing list managers are reasonable people and as
they move through the five stages of grief, they'll get beyond the
"this is wrong and I hate it" and will probably eventually move on to
"well, this is still wrong, but it makes sense to deal with it."
Consider: What this attitude might mostly be demonstrating is that
humans tend to be able to adjust to anything... whether they should or
not.
It's a version of the rat in the increasingly hot water phenomenon.
It's what folk who disempowered tend to feel they must do.
