But isn't that going to take us a long way down the road where we
anoint Postorius the one-and-only admin interface?  If that really
needs to be, OK, but I don't much like it.  Among other things, it
will make the design and detailed UI of Postorius a focus of
discussion for everybody concerned with Mailman 3.  And it makes the
option to "build one to throw away" much more difficult -- the design
decisions already made, and will be made in the near future, will
probably live as long as Pipermail has (and Pipermail will continue
for several more years, at least!)

If that doesn't scare you....<wink/>
