This is from the rrrs-authors list (from Will):
Non-controversial #1:
I object to make-list, list-fill!, list-set!, and list-copy on the
grounds that they are useful only for side-effect-full programming on
lists, which I claim is an unusual style that the standard should not
encourage. The corresponding procedures for strings and vectors are
less objectionable because side-effect-full programming on strings
and vectors is normal in Scheme. [...]
