Umm... automated crossposting limits _might_ be necessary. But
_rigid_ automated crossposting limits (e.g., including moderated groups)
are not. Given all the work people have done on various cancelbots, one
would think that someone could write patches on the crossposting
limit patches... admittedly, I'm not much of a programmer.
