The disadvantadge to removing [XFree86] from the subject is that those
people who do not use procmail to sort their mail will have to read the
message to know where it came from. I prefer to read my messages in one
inbox and use the subject line to figure out whether to read a
particular message now or later.

That said, most of the lists I am on lack a subject listname and it would
not make a big difference to me one way or another.
