My guess is that it's a legal beagle thing, considering the need for accepting
license agreement terms.  Back when I joined, you couldn't get click-through
access, you had to mail in signed originals.  IIRC, you couldn't even do fax
submissions.

Even sending out emails asking folks to respond wouldn't prove any more than
valid email addresses.  If the intent is / was to purge "bogus" physical or
mailing addresses, then an email verification campaign wouldn't do it.

I do think that foisting this change on developers just before many of the
support folks or those who wrote the purge routines went on holiday break was
not a well thought out plan though...
