I'll state for the record that I'm a -0 on this.  I won't block it from
happening, but I disagree with the change.

I've already voiced my concerns about the whole CC'ing thing from the
start.  I respect the wishes of folks that want to be CC'ed, but struggle 
to get attention when all committers need to read something.  It seems like a
bad habit for people to expect to be CC'ed.

But if the concensus is that CC'ing is good (and it seems that I may be
a lone dissenter, or at least in a minority), then I still am not
convinced that the list serv change was a good thing.  First, it makes it
much more complicated for new community members to "do the right thing"
by keeping the list in the loop.  Second, what if I don't want to be
CC'ed on emails?  If I did want to keep getting emails with me in the
CC, then I could just CC myself on the initial message.

As I said, I'm -0 on this...  in disagreement, but not enough to
disregard other people's preferences.
