Microsoft requires (strongly recommends anyway) that you have at least one
native mode domain for upgrading from 5.5 to 2K3.
The native mode domain needs to be the one where the DL's are created so
they can be converted by the store to USG's.
USG's are used to ACL the folder when a DL was used before. You would also
have to use a USG vs UDB to ACL a folder later. Gets really fun when it
comes to Outlook folders, but let's not confuse the issue ;)
Here's a nice high-level conversation about it:

Does that help?
