Yes, but not in this case.

Imagine for a moment that you are Linus Torvalds.  How would you feel
if everyone on the linux-kernel mailing list Cc'd every message they
sent.  That would mean that you would get two copies of not only the
replies to your posts, but you would also get two copies of every
reply of each thread you posted or replied to.

I don't know if you have ever read the linux-kernel mailing list but
it is definitely a high traffic list (300+ msg/day).
