What about recipients' not being able to reply directly to the original
author?
Personally I'd call that a feature if that were removed, I hate it
when list messages are sent directly to a person instead of the list.

This line of thinking has me confused.
It presumes that there should be no 'side' conversations.
No, it presumes that side conversations are the exception, and that list
conversations *generally* take place on the list.
The reality is that "reply-to-list" vs. "reply-to-author" is both a
debate that has long ago reached religious proportions, and a pragmatic
consideration that varies from list to list.
For a "sources sought" distribution list, a response to the original
author is more appropriate, whereas reply-to-list is more appropriate
for a community discussion list.
Most list management packages support both models, as a per-list
configuration item. Unfortunately, Yahoo has just broken both of them.
