There are several hundred thousand most likely 'spam' accounts which
would get aliases in that case. There are a lot of spam groups which
open accounts with Fedora and then try to pipe their crap through us
thinking they get a free alias and free giant email server. I would
expect that if we did this, we would have to drop email aliases
altogether and/or find all @fedoraproject.org email addresses at the
top of every spamblock list.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in
sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's
Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on  BBS...
time to reboot.
