OTOH, you could argue that any list where a significant population of  
non-subscribers would be expected to post signed messages would be  
tech-savvy enough to have an admin that could enable the feature.  My  
initial gut feeling is that it should be disabled by default, but I  
am planning on implementing 'list styles' for 2.2 so it should be  
easy to set that once and have all your new lists automatically pick  
that up (I'm not planning on letting styles change existing lists).
