I guess it depends on how we use this list.  We may want to ping for
somebody to help with a given package, but not want to have a public
record of the discussion of sensitive matter until such time as updates
are prepared.  I don't want to see this list become a place for hackers
to listen in on what packages are known to be flawed.

It took me VERY little time to get used to <ctrl>l to reply list.  I am
on a LOT of lists and not all are configured the same.  Remembering
<ctrl>l for every list will always do the right thing wrt replying to
the list.  There are other RFE matters against munging the reply-to
headers, but that's an exercise for the bored.  I've voiced my opinion,
others can do the same.
