I have no strong opinions one way or the other - but I imagine that part 
of the reason for the suggestion is that inactive lists clutter up the 
mailman page, and make it harder for newcomers to know easily which 
lists they should sign up for - thus the suggestion to set the list to 
not advertise itself on the mailman list.

Cheers,
Dave.
