Yeah, I probably have a number of admin-type decisions like that too :-) Sometimes people just assume "that's the way things work," and you don't get feedback about alternatives. In fact that's often frustrating.
If you don't want to use it you just wouldn't have anyone email you to your unpublished folder addresses.
That's not really a great alternative, though, unless I misunderstand you... which is likely. Extended addresses (subaddresses, what-have-you) are good; being able to file them the way you (as an end user) want them filed is good; having the admin say "don't use them if you don't want them filed the way I tell you to" is not as good.
My perspective, anyway. OTOH I often tend to think that users want more control than they really do.
