Yes - stale email addresses cause all sorts of problems, particularly if
in the future the address is re-used in the company. It also causes
confusion over who owns and maintains stuff because it's never obvious
whether the resolution of an unknown address is
A. 'user has moved on, follow the user'
B. 'user has moved on, company probably has someone else assigned
to it'
