-r is actually very useful and not regarded as 'lazy', usually.
When you're attempting to calculate the space a site/tree uses on a large site you often times are logged-out for inactivity as you aren't actually transfering anything, simply issuinga lot of CWD commands.
With LIST -r, one simple command can index an entire site/tree without fear of any inactivity issues.
What are you referring to with the STAT / SITE commands abilities darkone?
