I know we are facing an org-wide change of MLA's, but
in the meantime...

It's been debated a number of times in the past (far, long
distant past) but @apr lists operate disjointly with other
projects, httpd for certain, unknown how subversion is
currently configured.

At least three significant replies in the past few weeks
landed in the personal email space that were meant for
the list.  If we respond to a list-post, I expect to reply
to the list, although I understand the caution that one
might intend to reply directly to the poster.  That breaks
the spirit of collaborative discussion and should be the
alternate, not the default choice.

So I'll ask this once more for the first time in 10 years...

[ ] Keep reply-to-poster default reply semantics
[ ] Change to reply-to-list default reply semantics

Operational choice, not an implementation debate,
therefore not subject to vetoes... please chime in...
