Yes.

It's not at all hard to close a mailing list.  Where things get more  
difficult is if there's been traffic on the LP list and after moving  
to Ubuntu, the list owners want to transfer archives (or worse,  
subscription information) to the new list.

Hmm, there are some prohibitions but I still think some list requests  
get by that are, if not incorrect, definitely head scratchers.  Jorge  
is usually then tasked with making a final determination about those,  
and I'm pretty sure some get denied.
