Surely there are exceptions.  Obviously, RIPE NCC should continue to
operate mailing lists.  Your proposal would prevent RIPE NCC from doing
that.

Come to think of it, from a privacy point of view, I don't see much of a
difference between submitting a mail message to RIPE NCC for publication
and distribution over a mailing list, and a person: object for
publication and distribution using the RIPE database.
