No! I'm changing it to clarify that point as we speak actually. :)
We're currently running two mail archiving packages in parallel: pipermail
is what comes with Mailman, and mhonarc is the old software. I prefer
pipermail for some things -- I think it does a better job of preserving
the original message structure for archival purposes, for example. Plus
it's integrated into Mailman, so it doesn't require the aging Rube
Goldberg shell scripts I wrote for mhonarc.
The only things I haven't figured out with pipermail are a) how to
customize the look and feel of the pages, and b) how to convert the old
mhonarc archives -- so pipermail doesn't have anything before February or
so. Once I get this figured out I may switch over to pipermail only, but
for now I think I'm going to take down the links to the new pipermail
archives and add a link to the old mhonarc archives (which are now
sporting the new webpage template).
(Another important thing is that I'm trying to avoid breaking existing
links to archive posts! Sounds like a job for mod_rewrite...)

Yeah, that is a lot nicer! I'll have to tweak the mhonarc scripts to do
that I think.
