Not exactly. If we have a central system doing it under control of one 
company (that happens to be participating in this forum), they can very 
quickly adapt new technology and sign mail lists if necessary.

This is very different for large base of installed mailman and majordomo
lists which have very large volume as well but are very decentraized as
to who controls those lists and on which systems they are installed.
