Tim's plan seems eminently reasonable to me. I must often mark
sites "dead" in the argument list to pathalias to avoid having users'
mail autorouted via a non-responding site. It seems quite reasonable
to at least mark non-responding sites as "dead" in the pathalias database,
if their SA's are unwilling to update their map entry every year or so.
uucp mail depends on cooperation, and uncooperative sites place a burden
on all others, in terms of the need to update the maps manually.
Tim's plan places the burden on the uncooperative sites.
