That was old rule way back before 2002, before RW was acquired by Ancestry.com Now it is not adoptable by any project unless the list has the specific name "genweb" or any variation of that word in the mailing list name. ORBaker is not adoptable by any project and not restricted. Must be open to all projects. ORGenWeb is restricted to that project. RW policy - no more project county lists under any circumstances, too much problems already as it was back then.
