Nope.

The RFC states that conformant systems may or may not implement the
various headers (ie optional), it does not state that any given system
that supports those headers must also allow them to be disabled.
Mailman was conformant previously and now with the config option (which
I greatly regret) is still conformant.  There has been no change in that
regard.
