Sure.

Yeah,  I do not have strong feelings about it, just a preference.  It
certainly is not an issue worthy of angst or other emotional distress;
nor do I believe it is a make-or-break thing for success of anything.

Meh.  There isn't enough of that traffic, certainly not in these days
of the fading twilight of Open systems, for it to matter much.  And
many [most?] halfway-decent modern mail clients deal with List headers
in a sane way, some even providing Unsubscribe as an option.
