Why is the default for this 8bit?

Today, I forwarded (using S o m) an ordinary us-ascii message to an
internal mailing list, and it got stuck.  It got stuck because it
turned into a MIME message with a body part that was message/rfc822,
with encoding 8bit.  (It shouldn't have got stuck, of course---that's
a bug in our list expansion software.)

But anyway, why is a us-ascii message wrapped as 8bit?  Doesn't Gnus
look, to guess the minimum encoding it can use?
