No, it is not reasonable to suppose that.  The lists in question had
almost all been totally idle, and there is no burden involved with idle
lists.  These new lists, if formed, are presumed to be active, and the
burden posed by a list is, roughly speaking, proportional to the
activity on the lists.  Moreover, setting up the archives and so on are
all new activities, and involve some work.
