As long as the entries are informative to a human reader, it should be possible to skip the relevant ones when purging inactive entries. I believe this patch makes the situation better than it is currently (at least for the human reader), by marking lists without public read-access in a format that is more appropriate. In the future, we could perhaps improve on it to ease automation too, but for now I think it is worthwhile to merge this change (unless there are strong objections or better alternatives that everyone agrees on).
