I don't see this as a problem, since postings to moderated GNU groups
would FAIL until the necessary mailpaths line was added.  This would
serve as incentive for laggards to get their act together.  Sending a
monthly "newgroup <group> moderated" (one for each moderated GNU group)
to the gnu distribution would make sure that new sites had the correct
groups marked moderated.  (It also would stir up a lot of ire until
leaks in the GNU distribution were plugged. :))
