There are mailinglists with a pubic archive but that not be advertised by the server. 'Advertised' lists are kind of a funny middle ground between private and public. They are public lists but don't show up on the overview page. I assume that you mean "Unadvertised".
One way to think of this in a mm3 world is that advertisement is purely a function of the web ui.
And the equivalent "admin-by-mail" UI.
For all intents and purposes then, this flag has no impact on public vs. private, so it can be ignored.
But there probably should be a per-list configuration option for gateway-ing a list to the news. There may well be lists for which I am willing to advertise the existence without wanting their content to be spread far and wide.
At least, that's my current thinking, but I'm certainly open to other opinions. I almost wish we could just get rid of the advertised flag.
