Yeah, I've done that for years. I notice duplicates by looking at CCs
anyway. Note that our archives system is perfectly prepared to deal
with messages cross-posted to several mailing lists, as a first-class
feature. I don't think there's a strong need to police them
specifically.

If consensus is that we should completely forbid cross-posting, we can
talk about that.
