I'm also worried about spam; that's why electronic mail addresses have
been purged from the time zone distribution (and most especially from
the source data files such as "northamerica" which end up on millions of
computers worldwide).

The gmane site's archive of stuff that's gone out on the time zone
mailing list extends back to July 2004; has tz-linked spam been seen
since then?

And...if the gmane mailing list archive is a bad thing, is the elsie
ftpable mailing list archive also a bad thing (or is security through
difficulty of use sufficient)?
