I suspect that will be somewhat dependant on the skills of your
listmaster(s).  With my lists on apple.ease.lsoft.com, I made no changes
to my mailtpls and filelists.

You will find 2 changes that I (and other apple listowners) find
somewhat annoying.  We REALLY would like to see Lsoft either put these
back to the 1.8d behavior or give us a header switch to control the old
vs new behavior.  These are:

1) The bottom banner is now included in every post in the digest, not
just once.

2) Approvals for those on REVIEW now come in as mime messages,  and to
us are harder to read.

There is one new thing that is handy especially for lists with multiple
moderators and that use the Moderators= all, . . . option.  You can now
send back "OK CANCEL XXXXXXXX" which will immediately dump the message
so that another moderator can't approve it.  Also saves spool space on
the server if you dump spam with large attachments quickly.
