View submission: Experimental reddit change: subreddits may now opt-out of /r/all
The answer there is maybe. /r/all/new serves as one of the only places on reddit where you can get an exhaustive list of posts. I'm not sure we want to get rid of that.
It was also easier on the tech side to do it this way.

I'm not sure how to prevent a problem, so I'll just give this feedback — surely I'm not the only one who has had it.
There have been a couple of times I've started a subreddit and went to fill it with some initial content - /r/HandySites was one such case.
I don't know where people saw the submissions, but since it was before I'd told anyone about the sub, even /r/freebies, I'm assuming it was something like /r/all/new. Most of the posts got a downvote or two, I'm assuming because someone somewhere saw them taking up a few posts in a row on whatever page they had loaded.
Even if I couldn't opt-out, maybe some form of rate-limiting would be nice.
(Actually... the most awesome solution might be to be able to say "post this X minutes from now" or something - scheduled posts... that would be kickass. heh)
(and actually actually... using IFTTT or bufferapp.com or something... I bet I could put something together that would do that....)

Considering posts are a lot more "spread out" there, I don't think it is as much of an issue.
