For a summary of the major arguments on each side of this holy war, ask google about "Reply-To Considered Harmful" and its rebuttal, "Reply-To Considered Useful". My vote, FWIW, is to leave things as they are. I use a mail client (mutt) which is smart enough to have a 'reply to list' function in addition to the ubiquitous 'reply to sender' and 'reply to all'. If your client doesn't support 'reply to list', file a feature request or switch to one that does. Don't ask the rest of the world to compensate for your software's limitations.
