That's too silly a reason to take it seriously.
You just want to come up with all kinds of excuses for lame (email) users.
If the guys finds a serious security problem he'll be able to send the
message one way or the other. No need to do it from unprofessionaly setup
MTAs.

I know you won't lose much when I get tired of spam [1] and unsubscribe
from debian lists. Being a long time Redhat admin I wanted to "switch" to
debian for some time.
In order to become familiar with something new I decided to subscribe to
the mailing lists and "listen" to what's going on for a while without
asking the same questions others have asked before.
Since I do not tolerate any level of spam I consider it immature to run a
"professional mailing list" like debian security so that it can be abused
by the most stupid script kiddie. Sorry but the impression I got so far
is "semiprofessional". Cannot recommend it for use at work when people
don't want to run serious/professional mailing lists.
[1] received 4 more spams a moment ago. Don't need assassin to measure the
level of frustration with deb lists.
This is getting too silly so I'll stop here.
Thanks for your time.
