People don't want to edit them; people want to, knee-jerk, remove
them, as "it's noise, I don't want it, it scares me, please make

Umbrella lists have always confused me, so it wouldn't surprise
me if the List- headers are wrong there.  (Not that I'm responsible
for them, but that I have no experience with umbrella lists.)
