It's not "my own biased thing" -- I speak from experience of managing hundreds
of Linux mailing lists.

The "traditional email way" is gone. Anyone who insists on doing things the
way it used to be done in the 90s is doing everyone a disservice because
messages sent by their users will increasingly end up in spam or be rejected
outright. You're contributing to the notion that email is too unreliable to be
used for anything serious, especially via mailing lists.
