I must respectfully disagree with this assessment. People who maintain
computer systems used by a number of people have a responsibility to
protect that shared resource. Stopping attachments on mailing lists is not
any more "broken" than putting up a firewall is.
Yes, but there is no reason why mailing-list software should regard
application/pgp-signature as an "attachment" when protecting
mailing-lists against misplaced or dangerous attachments.
