The underlying problem is that clients are subscribing at all.  I have yet 
to hear any justification for ANY client to subscribe ANY name without 
explicit user instruction; much less the practice of doing a * LIST, 
subscribing all the returned names, and then only using LSUB from then on.

I have not heard of any demand in the NNTP world that a NNTP UA be able to 
subscribe to comp and comp.mail in order to be able to access 
comp.mail.imap and comp.mail.misc.
