Thanks for the bug links, they will prove useful.

Can you unpack the above a bit?  I don't understand the significance of
the statement.

My current interpretation is that we have an explicit policy of not
providing List-ID and this would change that, but in reading the linked
bugs I saw evidence that my interpretation was incorrect.

A slight tangent: another advantage of List-ID is that Gmail's "Filter
messages like this" feature works well with them.
