The point is that nothing which ever traverses a FreeLists mailing list
should be anything less than public domain. The service is not provided
to keep information public, but to put it on the internet for all to

This is the sort of list that shouldn't be hosted at FreeLists, as it
serves no benefit to the community.

If the feature is removed, existing archives won't be affected, but the
ability to add a new password will be.
