Whats the big deal anyway? If you want lists configured to reply to the list, just set it that way. What difference does it make what the default is?
The point is that there are lots of MUAs out there that are broken, and if you screw with the Reply-To: header, they are completely and totally unable to change who the reply is sent to. This is how private information gets exposed on public lists, with consequences ranging from just being personally embarassing, to getting you fired, to actually being life-threatening in some cases.
Do you really want to be responsible for something that could get someone killed?
Until the vast majority of the most popular mail clients have a proper 'Reply-To-List' function (TBird doesn't, although it has an extension that tries to do it, it isn't very good at it) discussion lists should definitely (imnsho) be configured to reply to list, and I always change the ones I manage to do so.
