Historically Majordomo hasn't had -request addresses; they were added
because that's what many other pieces of software use.  If you like them
and your users expect them, then use them.  It doesn't harm anything, if
that's what you're asking.  It does bring more aliases to maintain, though.

I think the help documents were rewritten for 1.94.2.
