Some list members might wish that list software behaviour (e.g. for privacy).
Has the list owners hardwired the code as to make it impossible to upgrade?
If not, any competent software person could easily change the software, so that senders who like routing privacy could enjoy it, while those who feel no such urge could avoid it.
Increased complexity and choice would seem very extropian.
