I agree with you, but this is what Mark said when I suggested we may not
need that case:
"No, it's not the same. It results in regular "checkpoint" mails which
are a prompt to review someone's membership in the team, without which
teams are likely to grow full of stagnant memberships. It's a "reminder
to leave" in many cases.
It's also a neat way of converting abunch of memberships which were set
to expire into a default policy of non-expiration.
So having the (c) option is useful."
And btw, thanks a lot for your suggestion, Matthew.
