So, for completeness:
1) first update the list definitions, then
2) do the QUIET SET
Of course there are always second order effects e.g., a batch job system
like you might find in MVS (OS/390) might not "want" to get an ack or
repro since the auto- mail might be unexpected. Or for certain
distribution options, it might "break" the receiver's successful
processing of the inbox.
