Maybe I have a hard time understanding since I don't use email to discuss anything that would be embarrassing, career ending, and most certainly not life threatening. However, it would seem that even if someone /does/ talk about those things using email -- they should be doing it with encryption and thus wouldn't be a problem on the main list. Conversations often get broken up when you disable reply-to-list because people just click "reply" instead of "reply-all" and we miss what could be very enlightening conversation.
If I was to vote on a matter like this I would either abstain or vote to keep it the way it is, so clearly it's not so important to me that I want to fight about it. I don't view this as a security risk, no more than a person could reveal the same information using "reply-all" (anyone who has worked at a large company before probably knows countless times when someone has clicked "reply all" when they only meant to click "reply") for recent example http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/11/28/reply-all-nyu-student-emails-school I see zero need to change it.
