Ah, I see. But I think that makes sense, because how should other programs
than Turba know what a list is and how to handle it?

But I'm not sure if it makes sense that groups/lists are still objects like
any other entry in Turba. I don't speak about the storage, but I don't know
if it's useful or rather irritating that you can add a phone number or an
email address to a list. There is no place where this address will be used.
Perhaps we should offer only a limited set of fields for lists. Or even
only a name field.

In this case we should also exclude lists from the exports.

What do others think?
