I support the popular and old reasons why setting reply-to is not good
for mailing lists. But in terms of the effort to keep that policy, I
doubts if it's worth.

Newbies always (and even experienced poeple often) have replied only
to the sender wrongly and been confused. And over and over someone
should teach them to how to reply-to-all and why they should take care
of the recipients. And the situation have never get better for 20
years of my mailing list experience. Setting reply-to is not an ideal
solution but a practical one.
