Yes, because too many list admins f*cked up their lists by typing an
incorrect or unreachable url prefix there.

The best way to solve this globally is to set
mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN and mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_HOST to whatever you
want (e.g. http -> https).  All newly created lists after this change
will simply inherit these new values.

To fix existing lists, use withlist and fix_url.py (this latter is in
cvs; I'm not sure if it made it to alpha3).

% bin/withlist -r fix_url -l mylist
