Indeed.

One might wonder what fpo aliases are good for - after all, you have to
have a mailbox to forward your alias to, and sending "from" (with) that
alias reveals which hosts you're sending through.

For organisational purposes, people also use plus-adresses
(name+fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or special personal addresses
(fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

But maybe we shouldn't underestimate the value of "corporate/community
identity" which the aliases convey - first, to new members that they
"belong" to the project, but also externally whenever someone
contributes insights (forums) or code using an fpo alias. I think some RH
employes use it to separate corporate work (even for Fedora) from
off-work contributions.

That being said, we might be at a point where pure aliases stop working
universally enough to fulfill their purpose, even if for a good reason
(DMARC/SPF/...).
