I dunno what jmb's general experience is, but my experience from the 15 or
so lists that I manage is that most bounces are from people who switch
ISPs, etc., and don't unsubscribe.  (Quota violations are another popular
cause nowadays.)

It generally isn't worth the effort to send mail informing them of the fact
that they've been unsubscribed, since it'll almost always keep bouncing.
They'll figure it out when they stop getting mail, if they care about the
list.

Things might be different, of course, for the FreeBSD lists since people
on these lists are generally much more clueful.
